A Coldstream-based winery recently announced the closure of its restaurant.
Over the years, Oakridge Wines has contributed to solidifying Yarra Valley’s reputation as a top wine region in Australia by winning multiple awards in different stages.
Despite its fame, the winery will shut down its restaurant from Monday 30 June.
The decision was made by Endeavour Group which acquired Oakridge in 2021.
An Endeavour Group spokesperson said the difficult decision was made in light of changing market conditions and in order to focus on and expand the core winemaking and cellar door operations.
“We would like to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has joined us in the restaurant over the years. Pouring our wines and offering outstanding cuisine with the backdrop of our Yarra Valley estate vineyards has been a great pleasure and privilege. We are incredibly grateful for your support and we want to assure you that this decision was not taken lightly,” they said.
“Rest assured, our cellar door remains fully operational and your favourite Oakridge wines aren’t going anywhere. In addition to our cellar door, wines are available from our website and through our esteemed wine club membership.
“If you hold a current gift voucher this can be redeemed for dining prior to the restaurant closure on June 30 or for cellar door wine purchases and hosted tasting experiences at any time. Should you wish to have this voucher converted to an on-line credit for purchasing wine via our website or if you would prefer a refund then our team will accommodate any of these options.”
