Thanks to picturesque drives, stunning rural views, endless rows of romantically twisted grapevines, and increasingly excellent on-site eateries, Australia’s wine regions guarantee restful getaways. To allow you to remain close to your favorite activities, we discovered the most charming lodging hidden among the vines.
Lindenderry at Red Hill
This European-inspired getaway, with 30 acres of gardens, lawns, and its own winery, is an hour’s drive from Melbourne in the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.

Port Phillip Estate
The family-owned Port Phillip Estate, which is situated at Red Hill on the lovely Mornington Peninsula, combines the natural environment with contemporary design. This modernist building, which suddenly emerges from the surrounding natural terrain and vineyard, houses the winery, cellar door, and lodging. The estate contains eco-friendly practices such architectural elements that protect indoor rooms from the afternoon light, preventing temperature changes that would otherwise require heating and cooling.

Chateau Yering
This opulent five-star property is still regarded as a symbol of the Yarra Valley even though it no longer includes a vineyard because it was severed from the winery (now known as Yering Station) 15 years ago. The Ryrie brothers established this vineyard in 1838, where they initially planted vine cuttings that eventually produced Victoria’s first vintage. Since 2001, the Chateau Yering Historic House Hotel has belonged to the esteemed Relais & Chateaux organization.
Spicers Vineyards Estate
The five-star Spicers Vineyards Estate is located on 25 acres of rolling Hunter Valley terrain and has a view of the towering Brokenback Range across its own private vineyard.

Until then, visitors will only have access to an optional in-suite massage.
