Upcoming Events
Vintage Fridays, March & April 2024.
Each and every Friday evening during the months of March & April we will be serving something soothing and comforting for the workers during vintage. Delicious food and refreshing drinks… Ossobuco, root vegetables, gremolata $38pp
A note on vintage – We are a working winery and during the months of March & April every year, pending when we harvest our fruit, the winery and its equipment will be in action. The winery air fills with scent of grapes and fermenting juice. In addition there will be strange noises and often loud noises including the pressing of grapes occurring, sometimes during lunch and dinner service. If this excites you as much as it does us, then we welcome you to witness the wonder of vintage at Winery & Cellar Bar when you dine with us next.

Winery & Cellar Bar
Our new custom built Winery & Cellar Bar is open for lunch & dinner in the heart of the Yarra Valley, at 8 Hunter Road, Healesville. Serving all four ranges of wine made by Jayden Ong, as well as some local legends and a lengthy list of compelling internationals. Plenty of options offered by the glass, as well as refreshing local beer and well made cocktails using unique hand crafted spirits and ingredients.
A free-fall into the world of wine. Visiting the Jayden Ong Winery & Cellar Bar is one of the most captivating food & wine experiences in the Yarra Valley. Simultaneously, the excitement and the sense of calm should make this an automatic inclusion on your winery ‘hit list’.
Our philosophy pays homage to the very best ingredients, cooked simply. Fresh sustainably fished seafood, pasture raised meat from local farmers, the first peas of spring pulled from the garden that morning. From the service to the produce, the magic is in the detail. The perfect accompaniment to your glass of wine.
2022 Gourmet Traveller Wine Awards
“One of the coolest places in the Yarra Valley to enjoy a glass of wine is surprisingly in the centre of Healesville’s industrial estate. Jayden Ong’s Winery and Cellar Bar – with its barrel-lined walls and hanging floral installations – manages to feel intensely artisanal and considered despite the lack of valley views. Ong’s decades in hospitality shine through in the warm, insightful service and the concise but informed range of local and international wines on offer…”
2023 Good Food Guide Awards
“An industrial estate on Healesville’s outskirts houses one of the region’s coolest dining experiences. There’s no killer views or schmick restaurant; the action takes place outside or in the barrel-lined winery, which houses an eight-metre limestone bar and dramatic hanging floral sculpture. Winemaker Jayden Ong (also co-owner of Cumulus Inc) works the floor like the pro he is, offering insightful advice on his innovative, minimal-intervention wines, other local heroes and a dynamite international offering…”
