It’s
not only the wine
that attracts visitors
to the Tilba Valley
Winery - there is
also the thought
of enjoying a tasty
lunch, delicious
morning coffee with
muffins or a Devonshire
cream tea later
in the day.
Our kitchen uses
the freshest, highest
quality local produce
(vegetables, herbs,
fruit and eggs from
the vineyard) and
avoids buying in
whenever possible.
So when you taste
guacamole or hummus
at the winery it’s
ours and no one
else’s - and
that’s why
it tastes different!
Colour and presentation
are of paramount
importance and all
dishes must catch
the eye. We try
to introduce the
‘wow!’
factor into even
the most basic of
dishes. It’s
important to ensure
the kitchen complements
the wines produced
in the vineyard
and we try to incorporate
these in our dishes
whenever we can
- pears poached
in Pinot, mushrooms
a la Grecque with
Semillon or Beef
Casserole with Cab-Shiraz
for instance.
The old favourites
such as the traditional
ploughman’s
lunch, the porterhouse
steak sandwich and
the zucchini slice
for vegetarians
continue to feature
on the menu, but
there are always
new dishes and dishes
that you won’t
find elsewhere locally
- vegetable terrine,
stuffed mushrooms,
feta/spinach or
rabbit filo parcels,
smoked trout salad,
gazpacho, coronation
chicken, beetroot
tzatiki, and all
kinds of soups and
casseroles in winter.
Entrees come out
at about $7 each
and mains range
from $6 -$15.50.
Home made desserts
(all $7.50) are
a highlight - the
current favourites
being chocolate,
prune and brandy
terrine, white chocolate
pannacotta, vanilla
bean and coffee
crème caramel
and Bailey’s
crème brûlée.
The restaurant is
open everyday. Visitors
can enjoy lunch
in the wood-paneled
banquet room, on
the verandah, by
the pond, in the
gazebo or by the
log fire if it’s
cold. Wherever,
you’re guaranteed
a wonderful setting
and a memorable
experience.
