The pizzas are delicious and made with quality, fresh ingredients. We shared a pizza and two salads between two people but could easily have finished another pizza.

Soumah is a beautiful, boutique winery in the Yarra Valley. With stunning views, delicious wines, and great food, you really can't miss this stop along the wine route! We had a reservation for lunch but arrived early to do a wine tasting. Unfortunately, it was not at the most opportune time, as there was a HUGE group (24 ppl) that had just arrived as well. Luckily the staff handled it perfectly and did our tasting alongside the group with extra care and attention, which we appreciated. They have a great selection of wines, ranging from traditional Australian style wines (Pinot Noir) to Italian style wines (Nebbiolo). We thoroughly enjoyed both the Pinot and even more so the Nebbiolo - it took me straight back to vineyards in Italy!
After our tasting, we were seated within the closed patio, which was so bright and lovely, with an excellent view of the vineyard. A waitress promptly came over and answered our questions regarding the menu and provided some recommendations. We started with the Rotolo, which was stuffed with pumpkin, spinach, & herbed ricotta, in a lemon butter sauce. This was sinfully delicious, with the beautiful sweetness from the pumpkin and richness of that sauce. Next, we got the Patate pizza with shaved potato, taleggio cheese, & rosemary walnut crumb on a garlic base. We had never had a potato pizza and questioned the waitress upon her suggestion, but boy, were we pleasantly surprised! It was really tasty! All of the toppings worked harmoniously together, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite!
Soumah is a great place for lunch in the Yarra Valley - highly recommend!
The pizza and pastas were absolutely delicious! Being a winery, I wish they helped us pair the wines with our food, but we made a great choice on our own. The pizzas did have some black sand-like specs on the bottom from the oven base, but were nonetheless tasty. Lovely day trip up here, but would like to try some other ones next time.
