Sirromet Winery

Clearly I had an amazing time, so much so I was a bit too pissed to write a review! We flew up to Brizzy specifically to have a birthday lunch with friends! Let’s just say, it did not disappoint!
Arrive early so you can do some wine tasting before lunch! Everyone was friendly and helpful, no pressure to buy! Okay we bought a case and a half!
Lunch started with a table with a beautiful view and an amazing server! I had the lambs brains for a start, which were spot on! You either love them or vomit at the thought!
I love them and these were spectacular!
I had duck for main but not 100% sure duck what? It was also amazing!
From what I can recall, everything that came to the table was very nice and had I known the serves were going to be so big, I would have started with dessert! Unfortunately by the time I got to that part of lunch I was stuffed! But in a good way! As far as wineries go, the meal portions were big and value for money! 5 people, entrée and mains, 3 bottles of wine was just on $ 400! For the service, the setting, the food and drink, it was a bargain! I’ve been there for a wedding, which was amazing but lunch will be had next time I’m looking to feel a bit special!

A year later, the 2% surcharge for MasterCard and Visa is still there. What a joke. Review down to 1 star.
Food was great though.

First of all, if you looking for a café with authentic winery experience, this might not be the best place to go. This winery is too overcrowded and it feels like just another tourist destination and no more than that.
The café charges 2% for all credit cards, which is a joke for a place where profit margins are above the average.
I don’t recommend the vineyard platter at the café, it has quite poor selection of cheese.

Sirromet winery is a very popular winery. Somewhat touristy. However don’t let the tourist appeal fool you. The restaurant Lurleen is actually very good. We had the catch of the day, a vegetarian gnocchi, duck and game trio and the prawn and crab stack. Service was personal and very good. Recommended wine was their signature Verdelho which went well with most of the dishes. All the dishes were very good and recommended. The exception was the gnocchi which I did not enjoy. For dessert we had the the dark chocolate mousse, shared by all of us because we were stuffed. Excellent flavor. Unfortunately a little too sweet for me. All in all a great meal and recommended should you visit the winery

Well, normally, one hopes to experience a restaurant before reviewing it, and one hopes that the experience has some level of anticipation. We wnt to book a Xmas Dinner for a group of 14 friends at Lurleens. They took the booking, THey then call back to tell us, that we need to choose (a week or two ahead), Who is having an Entrée and Main, and who is having a Main and t Desert — so that they can set the tables accordingly — give me a break — taking away 2 – 3 pieces of cutlery on the day, can’t be that hard. Then, they call back, and want to know what each person intends to order, now. What? IS this like a tuck shop where you have to write your lunch order on a brown paper bag in the morning. Can someone explain to them, that «a la carte» means «off the menu»…
Seriously, Sirromet. — allow people to take advantage of their culinary whims on the day — it will make for a more enjoyable experience, and people will probably spend more. We are now looking for an alternate venue. Easily $ 1000 worth of business lost, because they are «too hard» to deal with.

I really enjoyed my Sirromet experience.
The service was courteous, my glass was always full and the food was just devine! I had the triple cheese twice cooked soufflé, the salmon and veg and a brownie and lindt chocolate ice cream for dessert. All of which was delicious!
My friends hosted their wedding at this venue and in my opinion it was a blazing success! :-)

Sirromet seems to be everywhere I look lately — they have done some very clever teaming up with Brisbane restaurants, notably with some great wine /​food nights and have really raised their profile.
They were also the site of the recent Hall and Oates concert (don’t pretend you don’t love them).
This winery is surprising mainly because it’s not in the Adelaide Hills. I wouldn’t have believed there was such a thing on Brisbane’s doorstep, however I’m happy to be proven wrong.
This is a treat yourself kinda place, and they are clever enough to have really fine dining in their restaurant which justifies the prices, compliments the wine and tends to put one in an expansive, expensive kinda mind set (totally backfires when you’re asked to pay that much for dodgy food though, it’s fascinating how the human mind works).
I’d definitely take someone special here, or maybe reward some long suffering parents with a lunch if you’re the kind of kid who’s realised how grateful you should be for your cushy middle class upbringing.

Beautiful, scenic position atop a hill surrounded by vineyards and the most tasteful old style heavy wooden building cosidering it was constructed just a few years ago. Sirromet is a nice place to be. I was lucky enough a few years ago to tag along on a tour and it’s really fascinating to see the business side of the vineyard. You can become a ‘friend’ of Sirromet and take part in a symbolic first picking of the season’s grapes each year too, I believe. The wines are really good and getting better. Lurlene’s Restaurant has great food but it’s got to be special to get me there; the entrees cost what I like to pay for a main. However I’ve eaten there three times so far and never been disappointed. Delicious food from quality produce.

Located on winding Mt Cotton Rd, Sirromet is a little bit out of the way for most of Brisbane’s population. If you’re willing to make the drive however, it’s worth it. When you’re at this peaceful winery it’s easy to be tricked into believing you’ve escaped and taken a holiday, albeit a very short one. With views of vines, trees and rolling hills, two great restaurants and wine tasting, you can be relaxingly entertained here for hours.
Restaurant Lurleens is located in the main building, and serves delicious food. It’s not a cheap place by any means, but the prices are reasonable for the quality. Cellar Door is where to go for light meals, snacks and coffees. It’s situated off to one side of the building and offers the same picturesque views with less frightening prices. There’s something for the kids too; it seems children have taken to using pieces of cardboard to slide down the nearby slope in some sort of Australian style, dry grass sledding.
Everything has different opening times so if you want to be sure it’s best to phone ahead, but in general Restaurant Lurleens is open for lunch and dinner while Cellar Door is open during the day but not for dinner. Tours and wine tastings are conducted daily.
