Two things this place does exceptionally well.

Feed you properly and lose you entirely among the shelves. The Book Barn at Bendooley Estate, open seven days for lunch and always for a browse. Sometimes it is difficult to say which one you came for.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday. The Cellar Door transforms.

Leo’s by Night is where the evening finds its pace. Unhurried, considered and very much worth the table. From the first pour to the last plate, this is dining at its most enjoyable.

September arrived, and so did Alex and Olivia.

A spring wedding at the very start of the season, when everything is just beginning to open up again. The flowers arranged by Olivia herself.

Congratulations you two.

An oyster farmer and a w**emaker walk into the Cellar Door.

Coast to Highlands is an evening devoted to two things that were simply made for each other. Freshly shucked Signature Oysters, a guided tasting of our cool climate Rieslings with Jonathan and a grazing table to begin. The kind of evening that is difficult to describe until you are sitting at the table.

Whether it is a long lunch at The Book Barn or an intimate dinner at Leo's by Night, dining at Bendooley Estate is always worth the drive.

A kitchen that cares deeply about what leaves the pass, cocktails made with the same attention as everything else and a setting that makes the whole experience feel like a genuine occasion. From the window seats at The Book Barn to the warm glow of Leo's after dark, these are rooms that know how to hold a good meal.

The Book Barn is open seven days for lunch and Leo's by Night opens Thursday to Saturday from 6pm.

Imagine your next corporate retreat looked like this.

A fully equipped conference space in The Shed, sweeping grounds that shift the energy of a team the moment they arrive, exceptional dining at The Book Barn, w**e tasting at the Cellar Door and accommodation at The Homestead for those staying on. Everything your team needs to think clearly, connect genuinely and leave feeling like the time away actually mattered.

90 minutes from Sydney and Canberra. All on one estate.
