The staff were incredibly helpful. The selection of share plates available was excellent. Strongly recommend the charcuterie board prawn dumplings and the 2010 Blanc de Blanc.

The food was beautiful on Mother’s Day. We were given some free tastings as well as free champagne and tea. I was even asked to recommend a tea so said T2 especially loose leaf earl grey but NOT the French one. My daughter said their peppermint tea is nice as well. We were outside (our choice) and it did get chilly so would choose inside next time. Anything we wanted was met with helpfulness and a cheerful response. We could not fault Dromana Estate on Mother’s Day 2021.

5 of us thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Dromana Estate Winery. Booking process was good, even when I needed to make a last minute alteration. Setting and garden was lovely as was the homestead, very nice atmosphere. Our wait staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. They were very conscious of the large loud table that was near us and explained they would be leaving soon. Good choice of food, and everyone enjoyed their choices- very yummy tiramisu.. the wines we chose were also appreciated. Definitely would recommend a visit, hopefully no large noisy table near you though 😀

When we arrived they seemed to be disorganized and under staffed although it was not busy at that stage. The staff gradually got on top of things and were terrific. We enjoyed a relaxing time and the staff were great after a bad start.

We love the setting at Dromana Estate - it's a heritage building so is very authentic. Lovely gardens and vineyards surround the building. Nice in winter and in summer you can sit outside.

We were recommended by a friend to go to Dromana Estate. It was our 44th wedding anniversary so wanted somewhere nice to celebrate. We were seated and after a fairly long wait our drinks order was taken which did arrive shortly after. We then.ordered our meal and waited and waited up to 1 1/2 hrs. During thiz time we then had to go up to the bar to order another glass of wine. Got wine but still no meal. They were busy as youd imagine on a public holiday. When we went up to ask about our meals only to be told the order hadnt even been put thru.
