About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
Our menu is inspired by our own family gatherings, sharing food, wine, company, the beauty of our landscape and the bounty of our Estate Grown produce. Dine outdoors on the deck overlooking Lake Moodemere, or indoors in the heritage listed homestead - air conditioned in Summer with wood fires in Winter.

We grow our own lamb, wheat, honey, citrus, seasonal vegetables & herbs. All our Estate produce is sustainably produced with minimal intervention and zero food miles in a reflection of the place it was grown and the people who made it.

Our chefs have a passion for sustainability and creativity. In addition to our estate produce, we source the best of the season's harvest, with a view to minimising food miles, to enhance a vibrant, ever changing menu.

    The Restaurant was closed when we visited as it only operates at set times. But the place is beautiful and the wines are excellent. The hosts are the best and took us through a wine journey that was interesting, personal and memorable. Great wine in a beautiful location supported by committed staff and management. The owners are visionary putting out some really great and different wines. We loved it and will return.

    The service was average we ordered starters and before we had finished our mail arrived. We had the lamb cutlets which was overcooked and only 2 cutlets. We were here on Easter Sunday last year and it was much better

    We have had some of our happiest Easter lunches here. The food (OMG the lamb! 🤩) is wonderful, the views are lovely, the wines are fabulous and everyone is very friendly. It’s the perfect spot for a long, lazy (and delicious) lunch. Can’t recommend highly enough.

    We were a group of 6 friends on a cycling and wineries holiday in the Alpine region of Victoria and the Corowa / Rutherglen wine region. We class our wine tasting and lunch at Lake Moodemere Winery as one of the highlights of our holiday. The winery is in the stewardship of the 6th generation of the same family and the passion for the history, the country and the wines is evident in every aspect. The location is a spectacular bluff overlooking the lake and we ate under the veranda of the heritage homestead. The wine tasting was fun and informative and lunch was exceptional. It is a small menu cooked and presented beautifully. I am happy to recommend this experience to any discerning group.

    We booked here on reputation. Unfortunately, we had stale croutons in the salad and a Vigneron's Platter that was very disappointing with stale biscuits and only two elements of Salumi a ham and a salami which failed to meet the expectations from the description.
