RIVERSTONE Estate is the perfect spot to take that special someone this Valentine’s Day.
Riverstone Restaurant and Cellar Door and Riverstone Homestead B&B Accommodation in Coldstream feature 270-degree panoramic views of the Yarra Valley.
“The views from the homestead and restaurant are simply stunning,” manager Les Schoffer said.
“Arguably the best in the Yarra Valley.”
Riverstone features a barbecue restaurant, cellar door wine sales and bed and breakfast accommodation, and can cater for morning and afternoon teas, weddings, parties and other functions.
The cellar door started operations seven and a half years ago to provide a retail outlet for Riverstone Estate Wines.
“Along the way, the restaurant developed from antipasto and cheese platters at the cellar door to the gourmet barbecue menu of today,” Mr Schoffer said.
Bed and breakfast facilities are a new addition to the estate. Three rooms are available at any one time.
“It’s one of the few winery accommodation venues,” Mr Schoffer said.
“In our restaurant, cellar door and our B&B accommodation facilities we are always looking to see what we can do to make your experience even better.”
“We treat you like we would want to be treated.”
Mr Schoffer recently took over management at Riverstone. He previously ran winery tours throughout the Yarra Valley for 10 years, held credit management, audit and accounts roles in national and multi-national corporations and holds a business degree majoring in finance and credit management.
His family has lived in Healesville since the mid-1970s, so he classes himself as ‘almost a local’.
He’s supported the Healesville community through participating in and sponsoring Relay for Life in the town since its inception.
Riverstone is located at 105 Skye Road, Coldstream. It’s open 10am to 6pm Sunday to Thursday and 10am to 11pm Friday and Saturday.
