About Rosalie House

Rosalie House is a small family vineyard and cellar door restaurant on Lavenders Road at Lilyvale, on the eastern fringe of the Darling Downs, in the hills north of Toowoomba. The restaurant sits in a restored railway workers' cottage among the vines. Its enclosed verandah wraps around the cottage and looks out over the vineyard and the Lilyvale Valley, where the sun sets in the evening. The grounds include a ceremony arbour with timber bench seating, lawns, an undercover pavilion and a century-old homestead that can feature in the day. The venue works as a restaurant that hosts weddings rather than a dedicated wedding venue, so wedding parties have it from 3:30pm on the day. A seated shared-dining reception suits up to 70 guests at tables of ten, and a stand-up canapé reception suits up to 100. Menus are seasonal and built on local produce, opening with charcuterie and cheese served in the garden as guests arrive. The seated menu shares three mains with sides at the table, while the cocktail menu runs canapés over two hours, heartier bites and a carved ham supper. Drinks come from the restaurant's list, led by its own estate wines with local and imported beers, spirits and cocktails. No outside alcohol is allowed, and a minimum bar spend applies to every wedding. Away from weddings, the restaurant also caters for engagements, birthdays and large group bookings, and it trades as a lunch, sunset and dinner venue later in the week.

Thursday weddings have a chef-designed two-course shared long lunch. Gluten-free and vegetarian options appear on the sample menus, and wedding cake is cut and plated for guests.
