The new restaurant, ezard @ Levantine Hill, is stage three (of five) of a new multi-million dollar investment that will be an architectural attraction positioned along the Maroondah Highway. The venue will be world class in all respects, from its food and wine offering, to its breathtaking design which includes a cellar door and plans for a future state-of-the-art wine making facility.
“This is a truly wonderful opportunity and one that I immediately jumped at. What Levantine Hill is achieving with its vision for creating something special in the Yarra Valley, and indeed Australia, is really exciting,” said Teage Ezard..
The architectural style for the new restaurant and cellar door has been designed by the renowned Fender Katsalidis Architects.

The owners of Levantine Hill Estate, Elias and Colleen Jreissati welcome the addition of prestigious chef Teage Ezard to join their Levantine Hill Estate family.
“What Levantine Hill Estate is striving to achieve will be unique in the Yarra Valley and having ezard @ Levantine Hill as part of our winery is the crowning glory. We were recently encouraged by a comment from esteemed wine critic James Halliday who described what Levantine Hill has planned as ‘the most ambitious project in the Yarra Valley since the establishment of Domaine Chandon a quarter of a century ago’. People all over the world are looking for inspiring and satisfying experiences. We believe if we create something special, the people will come,’’ Mr. Jreissati said.
