The cleverly edited video shows radio host Ryan Jon making the long journey from Perth to Great Western, before proposing to now-fiance Brigitte Rodda in the vineyards at Great Western's Best's Wines where she works as an assistant winemaker.
"We had been in a long distance relationship for a while so I thought it was a bit of a grand gesture to say distance wouldn't get in the way of our relationship," Mr Jon said.
"It took about three weeks to edit it all together. It was pretty hard keeping it a secret when you just want to tell the whole world about this amazing thing."
The video was posted last week, with more than 170,000 views on Facebook alone.
"There have been a lot of kind messages from people I don't know, particularly people from around Ararat and Stawell," Ryan said.
Ryan said it was special to be able to enjoy the moment in a place like Great Western.
"I love Great Western and the area. Brigitte has loved it since moving here so it was great to be able to pop the question there."
