About Boat O'Craigo

Boat O'Craigo is a second generation family-owned boutique cellar door, restaurant and wedding business nestled in Victoria's highly acclaimed Yarra Valley wine region. With vineyards in Healesville and Kangaroo Ground, we have specialised in hand-crafting bespoke, single vineyard wines for over 20 years. We have experienced huge growth and awareness in recent years spurred on by a $4m rebuild to create one of the most picturesque and iconic cellar door and function spaces in the Yarra Valley. Brides and grooms instantly fall in love with what we have created. We love to delight our guests and specialise in creating and delivering bespoke weddings and events which delight and enchant with a friendly and customer focussed approach. The realisation of a dream, we have a solid calendar of forward bookings and are receiving a steady stream of 25-30 wedding and event enquiries each week. This is why we need you

Our cellar door, located in the picturesque regional town of Healesville and at the foothills of the Black Spur ranges, is the true home of our brand. Led by an experienced and diversely skilled team, we are proud of our work in creating an approachable, relaxed and positive vibe for our cellar door, weddings and event customers whilst delivering outstanding and memorable customer service. We are a team in every sense of the word and have an inclusive and supportive culture. This is why a lot of our team have been with us many years.
