Their three glass rated wine list was awarded the 'Best Pub Restaurant Wine List' in 2021. It showcases Clare Valley diversity and match Clare Valley wines to their Degustation Dinners and Cooking Masterclass lunch. They offer a Clare Valley Wine Masterclass every day. This can be followed by a Feed Me lunch as their 'Teach Me, Feed Me' experience.
