Sir Paz Estate is a vineyard, cellar door and woodfire restaurant in Wandin East, overlooking the southern Yarra Valley. A visit can centre on a guided wine flight or a longer lunch, with the vineyard outlook and wood-fired cooking making the food experience part of the attraction. It is a rural estate visit rather than a village cafe stop, so book lunch and organise transport before setting out.
Wine tasting with a vineyard outlook
The estate produces wines from its own grapes, hand-pruning the vines and picking fruit by hand, with the range including Shiraz, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Rose and sparkling styles. Tastings are presented as guided flights, allowing visitors to compare wines and discuss what they are tasting rather than simply choosing a glass from a list. Older vintages can also be available, depending on the current selection.
Explain your preferences and how much time you have when arranging a tasting. Someone new to wine can learn from comparing a few different styles; a returning visitor may be more interested in a particular release or older bottle. Ask about the flight’s wines, price and any purchase-related conditions before beginning. Wine purchases are separate from a restaurant reservation.
Mediterranean-inspired woodfire lunch
The woodfire oven and barbecue sit within the restaurant setting, bringing cooking aromas and activity into the dining experience. The current menu is built around Mediterranean-inspired dishes, with lighter plates and larger portions intended for sharing. A meal can therefore be arranged as a few small choices or a more substantial group lunch.
Examples from the September 2026 menu include cured-meat and cheese boards, woodfired flatbread, mushroom pizza, maple-glazed pumpkin, grilled chicken and slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Ask how much food your table needs rather than ordering one large shared dish for every person. The menu also suggests estate wines to accompany particular dishes.
Woodfire lunch is served from noon to 5pm, Friday to Sunday. Reserve a table and confirm your dining time, even if arriving earlier for the cellar door. Tell staff about dietary needs before ordering; nuts, gluten and other allergens are present in the kitchen. Discuss any required menu changes with staff.
Bookings, groups and opening days
The cellar door opens Friday to Sunday from 10:30am to 5pm, with Thursday tastings by appointment only. Walk-in tasting visitors are welcomed, but groups of five or more should email winetasting@sirpaz.com. For dining, the ordinary reservation system covers one to nine guests; larger parties use a group enquiry.
Confirm the sequence if your group wants both a flight and lunch. A restaurant table does not automatically reserve a separate tasting arrangement for everyone. Leave time to enjoy the outlook and avoid scheduling another cellar door immediately after a long meal. For general enquiries, call (03) 5964 2339 or email info@sirpaz.com.
Prices, surcharges and the journey
The menu provides useful examples of cost: Margherita pizza is $30, mushroom pizza $34 and the larger lamb shoulder $86. Prices and dishes can change with the season. A 10% Sunday surcharge and 20% public holiday surcharge are stated, so include those when comparing the cost of different visiting days. Confirm the current tasting fee separately. The linked menu also lists $15 per bottle corkage; check BYO conditions before bringing wine to an estate that offers its own releases.
The address is 54 Parker Road, Wandin East, VIC 3139. Appoint a driver who will not drink or arrange transport in advance. Do not depend on finding an immediate rideshare from a rural property at the end of lunch. Ask about accessible parking, entry and seating directly if anyone in the group needs a particular arrangement.
Sir Paz Estate FAQs
When can I visit the cellar door?
Regular opening is Friday-Sunday, 10.30am-5pm, with Thursday tastings by appointment only. Check your date before travelling and organise transport if drinking, particularly for a rural return journey.
What time does restaurant lunch start?
Woodfire lunch runs from noon to 5pm Friday-Sunday. Confirm your dining time when reserving; an earlier cellar-door visit does not necessarily include full lunch service. Allow time for a relaxed meal and tell staff about dietary requirements before ordering.
Do I need to reserve a wine tasting?
Walk-ins are welcomed, but groups of five or more should email winetasting@sirpaz.com. Confirm the current flight, fee and any purchase-related conditions, especially if you also want a restaurant table at a particular time.
What is the woodfire meal like?
The Mediterranean-inspired menu combines boards, flatbread and pizzas with larger shared dishes such as lamb shoulder or grilled chicken. Ask for portion guidance and choose the number of plates for the table, leaving room to enjoy the vineyard outlook rather than rushing to another booking.
How do larger dining bookings work?
The normal reservation process covers one-nine guests, while ten or more use a group enquiry. Confirm tasting and lunch arrangements together, with numbers and dietary requirements supplied before assuming both experiences have been reserved.
What extra charges should I budget for?
The September 2026 menu lists 10% on Sundays,20%on public holidays and $15 per bottle corkage. Check the menu in use and BYO conditions before ordering or bringing wine, and confirm the tasting fee separately from meal prices.
Where is the estate and what access should I check?
It is at 54 Parker Road, Wandin East. Use the full rural address and ask about parking, entry and seating if anyone needs an accessible route; arrange a driver or confirmed return transport rather than relying on an immediate rideshare after lunch.
