We celebrated a family birthday (actually a celebration for all our birthdays) here and had an amazing experience. The view and ambience is beautiful, the food incredible and the service wonderful. It’s great to hear the story of the vineyard, the winery and the food and share the passion of the owner and chef. The presentation of the food is artistry, and it was lovely seeing the chef pop out to the garden to cut some fresh produce and herbs then a few minutes later it was served up to us. We have all agreed we’ll be back again!

We were blown away by Wayward Winery! We had booked a table for a weekend away in Ballarat, not knowing what to expect but so grateful we did. The food and wine were delicious, the interior design and view were stunning and the host Teddy was so lovely and welcoming. An absolute hidden gem that we’re glad to have uncovered. We’ll definitely be back!

After showing our visitors around the beautiful Pyrenees wineries in Moonambel and surrounds, we stopped for lunch at Wayward Winery on the trip back to Ballarat. We were very impressed with the menu and our selection - the arancini and empanadas are up there with the best i’ve ever had. The W.O.W Grenache was also excellent. I highly recommend and look forward to a return visit.

Wonderful experience, we will definitely be back there soon. Food was excellent and each dish was thoughtful prepared and presented. Great host (Teddy) and Chef made for a great night. Our first time to this venue - If you are after great food and personable service with fresh produce , you need reward yourself and book lunch or dinner. Great work Ted.
