Merricks North VIC 3926
Australia
Box Stallion is a joint venture combining the skills and resources of two families; The Whartons and The Zerbes and is located at Merricks North on the Mornington Peninsula.
The first vines were planted in 1996, however in the interests of gaining some vineyard maturity, 2001 was the year of first wine production. In that short time, Box Stallion has already gained recognition for its wines and winemaking in state and national wine shows and through favourable reviews.
The Red Barn Cellar Door Café has a unique ambience. For a peaceful lunch beneath the big timber trusses and shady trees or an afternoon of live music filling the barn with laughter, chat and the clinking of glasses, the friendly relaxed atmosphere, great service, fabulous food and excellent wines make a winning combination for those seeking a venue with a difference.
For these reasons and many more, they were awarded the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Tourism award for 2004. For 2005 they were awarded finalists in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Tourism awards.
The dishes utilise fresh, seasonal and local produce make a point of matching interesting flavours with our large range of estate grown varietal wines.
The Barn itself once housed thoroughbred stallions and is situated on a 100 acre Estate. Where horses once roamed, vines now grow and our handsome trees, green lawns and lake provide a lovely outlook for outside dining.
Open every day from 11am ~ 5pm. You can enjoy live music every Sunday and they are child friendly. Group bookings and functions are a specialty so call to arrange a menu to suit your exact needs.
