Top Yarra Valley Venue for End of Year Parties and Group Gatherings
Tokar Estate – Relaxed Luxury with a Personal Touch
As the year draws to a close, there’s no better way to celebrate than by bringing together friends, family, or colleagues for a long, relaxed lunch in the heart of the Yarra Valley. At Tokar Estate, we specialise in creating memorable group celebrations, combining award-winning wines, delicious food, and stunning vineyard views.
The Perfect Setting for Celebrations
Located in Coldstream, less than an hour from Melbourne, our winery blends a warm, family-run atmosphere with premium wines and a welcoming restaurant space, the perfect place to toast to another year gone by.
-
Semi-Private Space: Perfect for groups of up to 24 people, this area can be decorated to suit your style, whether festive and fun or elegant and understated. Larger groups welcome up to 70 people within the main restaurant space.
-
Dining: Our $90 per person festive package includes a three-course, share-style menu celebrating the best of local produce, designed to create a warm and social dining experience. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of Tokar Prosecco on arrival before settling in to enjoy the feast. To add to the festive spirit, the room will be styled with Christmas bon bons and decorations in December, while optional linen tablecloths, napkins, and personalised printed menus provide a refined finishing touch.
-
Flexibility: With no sitting time limits, your lunch can flow long into the afternoon making it ideal for a true end-of-year celebration.
-
Extras: Guests are welcome to bring along a cake, and celebrations can begin (or end) with cocktails on the cellar door lawn, overlooking the vines.
