Vintners' Brunch

The Hunting Lodge

Duck Liver Parfait

Melt in your mouth, this lives up to its translation “perfect”.
Encased in Truffle butter and served with a bitters and orange compote.

Located in the middle of Matua Valley Wines vineyards, just 30 minutes from the city, we are the perfect place to enjoy a long delicious dining experience whilst gazing over vineyards. Join us for lunch and dinner from Wednesday through to Sunday. You may choose to dine in the main restaurant or secure your own private dining room in the “Loft”.

Enjoy dishes created from fresh local produce capturing a pacific rim style with our own unique twist, and complemented by a selection of wines handpicked by Bill Spence.

Built at the turn of the century as a Hunting Lodge for the Kerr-Taylor family of Alberton fame, it was transformed into a restaurant in 1982. Our 'grand old lady' has recently gone through a face lift and major surgery and has never looked better. A brand new kitchen has given Chef the opportunity to create his dishes before your eyes, while the new décor returns her to her former glory. Add to the mix our friendly team of wait staff and you have a dining experience that you will want to share with family and friends.
