Experience an evening of wine wandering as winemaker and all round lovely guy, Rob Dolan shares his winemaking journey and discusses the classic varietals grown and produced in the Yarra Valley. Enjoy Rob Dolan wines matched to a four-course locally sourced menu prepared by Fondata chef Christopher Lillico and his team.
Fondata is the contemporary revival of the iconic Weller’s, a place where city style meets country hospitality. The vista from the main dining room is across the stunning rolling hills of the Yarra Valley. The homestead was once a coaching inn and supply store, was the major stop for 'Cobb & Co’ coaches bound for the goldfields of St Andrews (formally known as Queenstown). Now a much-loved destination for the warm hospitality, Italian inspired food, unique landscape and locally sourced wines and craft beers.
Situated at the gateway to the beautiful Yarra Valley, approximately 45 minutes from Melbourne.
