Oakridge Yarra Valley

Oakridge sits on the Maroondah Highway in Coldstream, positioned directly beside Balgownie Estate. It holds a 2024 Australian Good Food Guide hat.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the proximity to the vines compared to the more tucked-away spots further down the valley. While many local dining rooms focus on the seclusion of the bush, the open layout here prioritizes the scale of the Yarra ranges. It serves a contemporary, farm-to-table menu that feels grounded in the immediate landscape. Choosing this over the nearby breweries or smaller estate cafes buys you a more formal rhythm, which is exactly why it suits those who prefer their vineyard lunch served with white tablecloths.
