The restaurant and vineyard was outstanding! While we sipped a delightful Montalto Chardonnay we were served fresh olives and Ciabatta bread and fresh olive oil for dipping. We then had Kingfish Sashimi with horseradish cream and vegetables. Finally Chicken Cacciatore served with vegetables and salad grown at the vineyard. The olives and vegetables are all grown on the property. Their pizza was the best we have tried outside of Italy. The staff were thoughtful and very helpful. The view of the vineyard was gorgeous and there is also an opportunity to walk around and view the gardens, vineyards and a sculpture walk.It was a really good experience. The customer service was exceptional. So worth it. The wine was great. The place was beautiful. The 3-course food was great. And everything was just for $135 per person. It was so worth it.

Ventured to this gorgeous spot for lunch. Lovely restaurant with gorgeous views. We chose the set menu of a feast of your choice (meat, vegetable or seafood) that served up 5 courses plus sides and bread for AUD99 per person. Had the seafood feast which was delicious- the prawns being the star dish, to me. Don’t know what the Chef did to the potatoes but they were amazing! Loved the presentation of each dish. Of course, wine and sparkling was divine. Nice service too.Firstly, the wines are great. Also really nice outlook and charming setting. I settled for barramundi and my partner the partner. Both were average. Both were overpriced. We ord r d desert as well. The apple desert in a jar - as pictured - was delicious. The chocolate torte was not good (more of ...
Firstly, the wines are great. Also really nice outlook and charming setting. I settled for barramundi and my partner the partner. Both were average. Both were overpriced. We ord r d desert as well. The apple desert in a jar - as pictured - was delicious. The chocolate torte was not good (more of a cake than a torte) and despite asking multiple time for the double cream with was meant to accompany the dish, it never came.Had a lovely long lunch yesterday with beautiful views of the vineyard, and delicious food and wine. Staff were very friendly and made our experience very special.
