(Please quote De Bortoli dinner when booking)

Steve and Leanne moved to the De Bortoli family vineyards in the Yarra Valley in 1989 and still manage it today. He believes in the importance of single vineyard wines and has a very hands-off approach to winemaking; this allows the wine to ’make itself’. He quotes, ‘It’s about site and season, making wines with detail, texture and minerality, charm and interest. Character and personality in wine comes from the imperfections of nature.’

A little bit about our guest chefs…

Having been there only 18 months The Etchicurean won the Observer’s best ethical restaurant award last year. The Walled Garden Cafe is an organic restaurant in the former orangery of an Edwardian kitchen garden which builds its menu around the seasonal bounty outside. They also make hand pressed traditional cloudy apple juice from their own Orchards. For those of you who haven’t heard of them yet you certainly will soon…
