Dining at Chrismont: An Experience We're Proud to Share

When you visit Chrismont, we want you to feel what we feel every day—the calm, the beauty and the sense of pride that comes from calling the King Valley home. As you arrive and look out across the vineyards from our architecturally designed Cellar Door and Restaurant, you're stepping into the very vision we dreamed of for more than 20 years.

Inside, you'll notice our dining space is contemporary and refined, yet never pretentious. We've created an atmosphere where elegance meets warmth—where you're welcomed as an old friend rather than a reservation on a list. Hospitality is at the heart of who we are, and we extend it with the same sincerity we offer in our own home.

Our menus are a true celebration of the seasons and our heritage. Inspired by the flavours and traditions of Northern Italy and Sicily, our dishes honour the recipes we grew up with while embracing modern culinary techniques that bring each ingredient to life. Whether you prefer to share plates or enjoy your own, every dish is crafted to be generous, comforting and full of flavour.

Our wines complete the experience. Made here in the King Valley, they reflect our passion for contemporary winemaking and our commitment to expressing this region's character. We take great joy in guiding our guests through pairings that elevate the meal and reveal the best of both the food and the wine.

What matters most to us, however, is how you feel while you're here. Nothing is rushed, nothing is forced—we want your time at Chrismont to unfold naturally, with attentive service that makes you feel seen, relaxed and genuinely cared for.

When you leave, our hope is simple: that you walk away nourished not just by the food and wine, but by the experience as a whole. That you carry with you a sense of connection—to the valley, to our family and to the stories we're honoured to share with every guest who dines with us.

We look forward to welcoming you to Chrismont.

Exceptional in Every Way
My partner and I stopped into Chrismont for lunch on our way to Bright, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional – the service, the stunning views, the wine, and the food were all 10/10.

We enjoyed a fantastic wine tasting with John, who was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. He took the time to talk us through each wine and happily let us try anything that caught our eye, making the experience feel relaxed and personal.

Afterwards, we sat down for lunch, and the food was absolutely exquisite. We paired it with a beautiful bottle of wine that we purchased, and to top it all off, the team kindly recorked the bottle for us to take home when we couldn’t finish it.

I can’t recommend this beautiful winery highly enough and will definitely be back. Thank you, Chrismont, for such a wonderful experience!

Take a bow Chrismont
We visited from the Barossa Valley and were blown away. Exceptional dining—rich in flavour, beautifully executed, and with such an inclusive menu to choose from. The gnocchi literally floated off my fork!! Please pass on our thanks to the chefs.

Service was second to none, and we loved choosing wines by the glass to match each dish.

Stunning views, too—you can get lost in them.

We’ll be telling all our friends!
