Located in Maiden Gully, just a 15-minute drive from the heart of Bendigo, Solterra and Vine, formerly Balgownie Estate, spans 16 hectares of tranquillity. Enter through the gate and travel up the vine-lined driveway, where the restaurant, along with the accommodation, rest among manicured lawns and protected bushland. Soak up the sunshine on the lawns, sip local wine on the deck, or gather around the fire pit as the vineyards glow at sunset and stretch across the landscape. Grounded in seasonality and shaped by the land around it, our restaurant is a celebration of fresh, local produce and community connection. Working closely with regional growers and makers, our menu is guided by what’s in season, unfussy, generous, and designed to be shared.A countryside escape designed to help you disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with the people who matter most, Solterra and Vine invites you to breathe deeply, slow down, and savour the beauty of the land.
