Sir Paz Estate

Tucked up in the hills behind the Dandenongs, Sir Paz Estate is that sprawling Yarra Valley vineyard you pray your friends haven't discovered yet. Sweeping, picturesque views over the vines. Serious wood-fired cooking. Regional truffle hunters and industry insiders constantly point their inner circle up this hill—and for good reason. The kitchen fires out blistered mushroom pizzas and a spectacularly rich lamb shoulder that practically demands a generous pour of their terroir-driven Shiraz. Plentiful plates designed for long, lazy lunches. Service here is impossibly warm and dialed-in—just ask for Kelly—effortlessly accommodating everything from gluten-free tweaks to BYO truffle shavings. Whether you're swirling a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or scouting a jaw-dropping wedding venue, this estate delivers a brilliant al fresco feast right in Victoria's backyard.
