We've received the two-glasses rating from the W**e List of the Year Awards 2026. It’s an honour to receive the award once again, but it's the judge's written review that means the most to us. It puts into words exactly what we’ve been aiming to achieve with our w**e program:

"You can see the care that has gone into selecting the producers on this list. It is an out-of-the-ordinary selection, with w**es hand-chosen for their inherent merit. The inclusion of smaller producers such as Lyons Will, Granite Hills, Henskens Rankin and Head shows that the sommelier is looking for small, unique, quality listings.

The Victorian selection has substance, with ten w**e regions represented, and the international selection is thoughtful and insightful, with producers such as Emmerich Knoll, Robert Weil, Clos Mogador and Domaine Weinbach. This is a lovely list, well placed to develop beautifully over the years."

The exploration never stops.

Behind the w**e list at The Boathouse are countless hours of tasting, studying, researching and discovering, all with one purpose: to create a thoughtful and ever-evolving w**e experience for our guests.

Alongside managing the restaurant and leading our front-of-house team, Peshala personally curates and directs The Boathouse w**e program, continually deepening her knowledge and seeking out w**es and producers worthy of a place on our list.

That dedication was recognised with a Two Glass rating in Australia’s W**e List of the Year Awards 2025. A milestone we are incredibly proud of, and one that only inspires the journey to continue.

Because a great w**e list is never really finished.

Crack the top of this crème brûlée and you get the contrast that makes the dish worth ordering in the first place: a thin, torched sugar shell giving way to a soft custard underneath. That custard is set with Papua New Guinea vanilla, which leans more peppery and floral than the sweeter Madagascan vanilla most people know.

Alongside it, an Ebène dark chocolate ganache rolled into a cigar and dusted to look the part, with pistachio for crunch against all that softness.

Full menu and bookings are on our website.

A short week, a long weekend, and the perfect excuse to spend a little more time in Daylesford. Why not book a dining experience with us by the lake to set the tone?

Wild harvested red deer from South West Victoria, leaner and more intense in flavour than farmed venison, finished with a seed crust for crunch. It comes with a roasted vegetable pavé, beetroot purée, prune confit and a lingonberry jus. Prune and lingonberry are both classic partners for venison, their sweetness balancing out the lean meat.

Full menu and bookings are on our website.

Bee’s Knees: Daylesford Spirit Distillery gin, yuzu, and honey from just north of Daylesford in Maldon. A classic cocktail with a local touch, bright and lightly floral.

Perfect for a spring lunch or to begin the evening by the lake.

A baked cheesecake sets denser and more custardy than the no-bake kind, which is why it needs more than one sharp element to cut through it. This one gets three: an elderflower aero for something light and floral, a lime gel for straightforward acidity, and a yuzu sponge, yuzu being a Japanese citrus with more going on than lemon or lime alone.

Apple strudel, finished tableside with salted caramel poured straight over the top.

Strudel dough is stretched paper thin rather than rolled, which is why it shatters instead of flaking like puff pastry. Ours comes with a mille-feuille ice cream alongside, a French pastry technique turning up in frozen form right next to an Austrian one.

It's the kind of dessert worth saving room for. Full menu and bookings are on our website.

Flowers are in bloom, the days grow longer and warmer, and our historic venue on Lake Daylesford becomes a feast for all the senses.

On fine days dining on the deck becomes a prime location, and as spring produce makes its way from the local farms to our kitchen, the ingredients on the plate become as vibrant as the view itself.

Join us for lunch Wednesday to Sunday, or dinner Thursday to Saturday.
