Birthday Party Venues in Monbulk

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Monbulk's birthday venue is Yarra Ranges Estate, a winery and restaurant on Coulson Road owned and run by one family. It sits among its own vines, with views over the hills between the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges.

Weddings are the estate's main business, but it also hosts birthday celebrations and other private functions. Party costs are quoted per event rather than listed, so tell the estate how many are coming.

Why a birthday works at this Monbulk winery:

Room for up to 150 seated in a reception room whose large windows look straight onto the vineyard
A separate dance floor area beside it, with space for a band, a DJ or a photo booth
Food from antipasto platters right up to five-course menus, paired with wines made on the estate
Vegan, gluten-free and other dietary needs handled by the in-house chefs when they are told ahead
Car park, entrance, accessible toilet and reception room all on one level, which helps older guests

A 21st or 30th with a DJ can take over the dance floor area, and the estate is listed as DJ friendly
For a 70th or 80th, a long lunch of platters and estate wine keeps the focus on the table and the conversation
Both indoor and outdoor spaces are listed, so a summer birthday can begin in the open air before guests sit down
The estate also runs engagement parties, so a family can come back for the next milestone

Things to settle early

Events finish by 11pm, so plan the cake, speeches and lifts home with that in mind
On-site parking is provided for guests driving up to Coulson Road
Give the chefs allergy details when you enquire, rather than on the night
Ask whether an approved outside caterer is possible for your party, as the estate allows one when the venue is hired
