Discover Kardella South

Kardella South offers several concrete ways to plan a stay: wine tasting, a range of dining options, a distinctive homestead, event facilities, and cycling. The Grazing Room combines a tasting room with event facilities; Djinta Djinta Winery offers a selection of wines at its cellar door, a restaurant, and a two-storey sandstone-and-timber homestead. Citrus Grove is considered a suitable retreat for outings and rides along the Great Southern Rail Trail. These different highlights can help you decide what kind of stay you are looking for before you search for a holiday rental in Kardella South.

Tastings, dining, and celebrations

The Grazing Room is a relaxed tasting room with food service. Snack platters and light meals are offered alongside a glass or bottle of wine. It is a casual dining format where wine and small dishes go together. The Grazing Room is also a multi-purpose event space for cocktail events, birthday parties, engagement parties, wedding receptions, and corporate product launches. Its scope therefore goes beyond a wine tasting: a celebration can also be a reason to consider this event space.

Upstairs in the Djinta Djinta Winery homestead, deVine Restaurant serves contemporary à la carte dishes. Compared with the light meals at The Grazing Room, it offers a different kind of restaurant experience. From the restaurant, there are expansive views across the vineyards. Confirm current opening arrangements before visiting. This will help you distinguish between a relaxed tasting and a restaurant meal when planning your day.

Wine, homestead, and events

Djinta Djinta Winery’s cellar door offers a selection of red and white wines. The winery caters to small and large groups and offers packages for special events and celebrations. If you are planning a tasting or celebration, confirm current operating arrangements and package details directly with the winery.

The Djinta Djinta Winery homestead is two storeys high and built from sandstone and timber. The combination of these materials and the building’s form give the winery a distinctive architectural feature. The origin of its name is another notable detail: Djinta Djinta derives from the call of the iconic Australian willy wagtail. The building and the name are two different facets of the place, alongside its wine selection and restaurant dining.

Driving time and accommodation profile

The drive to Djinta Djinta Winery takes 90 minutes from central Melbourne and 40 minutes from Cranbourne. These times refer to different starting points; the route and traffic can affect the actual travel time. Check the current route from your own starting point when planning your visit.
