Enjoy a taste of La Dolce Vita just over an hour out of Melbourne at T’Gallant Vineyard. Nestled among the rolling hills of Main Ridge, a taste of Italian-inspired wood-fired pizzas, delicious dishes and magnificent wines awaits.
A pioneer of Australian pinot gris and grigio, T’Gallant Vineyard is open again under new, passionate owners with a transformation that has elevated the original rustic look using local, natural and tactile materials. The cellar door, adorned with a new copper-clad bar top, invites guests to explore the full range of wines through a guided tasting experience.
The refreshed food menu takes you on a culinary journey throughout Italy while using local produce at an affordable price. Savour the famous rectangle wood-fired pizzas; small plates such as arancini, burrata, and bresaola carpaccio; and a selection of mains including prawn linguine, roast pumpkin risotto and warm chicken salad. Dessert is a must with the tempting offer of housemade tiramisu, panna cotta, Italian doughnuts, and gelato. A variety of gluten-free options and kid-friendly dishes are also available.
Looking for the perfect place for a long lunch? There are plenty of different areas at T’Gallant Vineyard to choose from, starting with the barrel-filled outdoor eating area. If you are seeking indoor dining, Cantina Felice is for you; it’s a relaxed and warmly lit space with banquette seating. The outside Sputino Bar is at the heart of the vineyard, featuring a stunning terracotta tile benchtop and wood-fired pizza oven that takes centre stage. Next to that, the sun-soaked La Barraca dining space offers sweeping views across the picturesque vineyard.
Large group bookings are welcome, with a dedicated set menu for groups larger than eight.
Opening hours: daily from 10.30am-5pm (lunch only); walk-ins and bookings via Open Table welcome.
