A vineyard that is its own destination: Carrajung Estate's luxurious accommodation, fine dining restaurant, cellar door and stunning country surroundings mean you'll never want to step foot off the property. Formerly known as Toms Cap Vineyard, Carrajung Estate was reimagined by Ivy Huang and Rebeka Morgan as a haven that puts unpretentious luxury at the forefront.

Formerly Toms Cap Vineyard, Carrajung Estate, driven by Ivy Huang and Rebeka Morgan, offers unpretentious luxury, sustainability, and idyllic accommodations. Located 2 hours from Melbourne

Together they have made sustainability and social consciousness a focus of Carrajung's ethos. A solid 2-hour drive east of Melbourne (about a half hour south of Traralgon or 45 minutes from Sale) you'll find the idyllic property, boasting delectable meals, luscious wines and chic accommodation.

Dining

Chef Pat Haney learned how to cook by watching his grandmother prepare hearty meals from ingredients sourced locally in San Diego. You'll be thanking Pat's granny when you sample his deliciously decadent menu. With a focus on local ingredients and ethical sourcing practices, Pat will leave you entranced with such delights as twice-baked duck leg and bay bug risotto. The menu is always fresh and exciting, changing with whatever is in season.

And the perk of being located at a winery? Every effort has gone into pairing the meals with the fine wines produced from the estate. Overlooking those vine-laden slopes, you can be excused for being a little distracted from your meal by those seductive restaurant views.

Accommodation

The onsite cottages provide serene views of the vineyard and rolling hills synonymous with the classic Gippsland landscape. There's a theme of unpretentious luxury, in the thoughtful design and stylish furnishings. There is the Scandi elegance of The Nest (perfect for lovers) or the rural escape of The Lodge (ideal for a group of friends or family).

Onsite cottages offer serene vineyard views and unpretentious luxury. Choose The Nest for couples or The Lodge for groups. Explore the grounds with farm animals and scenic spots

You can melt into the outdoor bath as you admire the sun setting on the vineyard, or fall asleep in front of a cosy fire. The grounds are yours to explore, with romantic spots for stargazing, scenic vineyard strolls and a gorgeous gaggle of farm animals who call the estate home - expect to meet chickens, alpacas, goats and pigs. You can even picnic on the grounds or among the vines.
