As the cool mist of winter gives way to warm sunshine, Rochford Winery comes alive in the vibrant energy of spring and summer. The vineyard flourishes with lush green vines, the air is scented with fresh blooms, and the longer days invite you to slow down, sip, and soak up the best of the season.
At Rochford, every visit is an invitation to indulge. Begin with a bespoke tasting guided by our knowledgeable sommeliers, where award-winning wines take centre stage seven days a week. Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your wine journey, there is something to delight every palate. For those looking to elevate the experience, our decadent food and wine flights pair the finest drops with exquisite local flavours.
Dining at Rochford is a celebration in itself. Choose from two acclaimed venues that highlight the very best of seasonal produce. Isabella’s Restaurant offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu with a relaxed yet contemporary feel, open daily for lunch and dinner. For a more laid-back vibe, Il Vigneto beckons with wood-fired pizzas and mouth-watering pasta dishes every Friday through Sunday, paired perfectly with a glass of wine or a spritz on the terrace. Both restaurants are family and dog friendly, surrounded by sweeping views of the Great Dividing Range – a picture-perfect backdrop for a day well spent.
Adding to the summer magic, Rochford continues to be a favourite destination for live music lovers. This November, the iconic Red Hot Summer Tour will bring an incredible lineup of Australian talent to the Rochford stage, filling the valley with energy, music, and unforgettable performances. It is the perfect chance to gather your friends, enjoy fine wine and food, and experience one of the country’s most celebrated touring festivals in the heart of the Yarra Valley.
Whether it is a sun-drenched afternoon with a chilled glass of Rosé, a family feast in the vineyard, or a night of music and dancing beneath the stars, Rochford has your spring and summer plans covered. Come for the wine, stay for the atmosphere, and leave with memories that will last a lifetime.
