The magnificent Stamford Park Homestead was built in 1882 by the entrepreneurial Row family as a Gentleman’s Residence. After many years of neglect, the homestead and six acres of grounds have been aesthetically restored, allowing it to once again become the ‘Jewel in Knox City’. Stamford Parks current custodians, have waved their ‘whimsical’ magic of both design and true hospitality over the beautiful estate and it is now a stunning property serving the public for what it was originally intended – a place to gather, meet, entertain and unwind.

• Wine Bar • South Yarra

Booked 14 times today

At Lilac, we’ve transformed a historic warehouse into a warm, low-lit wine bar with loft-style charm and inviting character—think exposed brick, steel-framed windows, Persian rugs, and a cozy fireplace. It’s the kind of place where you can relax at plush velvet couches or gather around the back-lit bar for a drink and a bite. Our kitchen plays with wood-fire cooking, house-made charcuterie, and creative twists on nostalgic bistro favourites. From chicken-liver mousse éclairs to savoury “mince on toast,” every dish is made with seasonal, local, foraged, and fermented ingredients that speak to heart and flavour. Our beverage focus is just as thoughtfully crafted. We pour an array of biodynamic and minimal-intervention wines, alongside inventive cocktails that nod to tradition with unexpected ingredients. The aim is simple: quality, creativity, and joy in every glass.

The spready always delivers. We go there regularly before going to the footy. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Great food selections for all tastes. The potato cakes are the best and are a must to start the meal. Excellent selection of wines and beers. I keep going back there and it is a favorite place of my family and friends.

Excellent menu choices. Staff were friendly and provided personalized service. Great venue to catch up with friends in a scenic location. Take care entering the carpark; the ground surface is extremely uneven.
