The Carrajung Estate team is small but mighty, united by their love for all things food, wine and beautiful design. Their mission is to create and curate a truly beautiful escape hatch – a place where love grows, connections are forged and never-to-be-forgotten memories are made.
A shared love of home renovation brought Rebeka and Ivy together back in 2019. They went on to work on two major renos together before finding and falling (deeply!) in love with a vineyard in the heart of Gippsland. Together, they’re transforming Carrajung Estate into a luxe destination offering inviting designer accommodation, world-class food and damn good local wine.
Inspired by the bountiful local produce of Gippsland, award-winning Head Chef Patrick Haney has designed a world-class fine dining menu where a memorable dining experience is a sure thing and good times are ready to roll. The menu moves with the seasons to use the freshest of sustainably and locally sourced ingredients, changing every 6-8 weeks, so there will always be something new to try!
The boutique range of easy-drinking Carrajung Estate wine has been meticulously crafted from the vineyard’s own grapes and is available at the cellar door.
Don’t forget to pack your camera!
