Hidden in the undulating hills of Wandin, Victoria is one of the first homesteads, Mont De Lancey, settled by the Sebire family. Along with the Rougets and Gaudions, the Sebires were one of the original French settlers in the Yarra Valley.
Now a new French connection has arrived at Mont De Lancey in the form of a unique French style café... 'Les Chésselles'.
Not only will you enjoy French food but also French wines and cheeses, as well of course alongside the best wines of the Yarra Valley. As part of the experience, Gourmet produce are also available.
Why not indulge yourself with a French style breakfast and a complimentary glass of champagne Saturdays and Sundays. Or take a stroll through the Rose Garden and visit the rose nursery
TUESDAY to FRIDAY - 10.00 to 4.30pm
SATURDAY and SUNDAY 9.30 to 4.30pm
OPEN EVENINGs for bookings of 10 or more - PLEASE INQUIRE

The magnificent gardens of the property history abounds with an original Slab Kitchen, Machinery Shed and Blacksmiths Workshop. The gardens, St Mary's Chapel and gazebo or under the 100 year old Peppercorn tree near the newly established Rose Garden also provide a beautiful setting for Weddings which can be fully catered by Les Chésselles.
Popular film and TV personality Paul Mercurio recently filmed Mercurio's Menu at Mont De Lancey, sampling some of the produce at the Farmers Market, and sharing duties in the kitchen with Chris Helleren at Les Chésselles. Stream the program here.

In 1491 a land owner from Switzerland sold a parcel of land just inside the French border to a man called Chesselles where the village of Chesselles had its beginning. Over the next four hundred years the descendants moved throughout Europe and up into England where over time the name was anglicised to become Chessell. This was the maiden name of the owner Christine.
