Bruny Island Premium Wines

We looked at the menu before booking, the prices were high but the seafood platter was the best we'd seen advertised in Tasmania and the instagram photos looked great. Upon arrival we were told the seafood platter wasn't available, so we ordered the soft shelled crab as staters and the waiter recommended the Asian pork belly. My partner ordered the steak. We had a nice flight of wine while we waited. We particularly enjoyed the pinot gris, very nice and interesting flavour. The soft shelled crab was nice but not crispy or hot as you'd think if freshly fried. The steak was cooked well but the broccoli was raw. The pork belly was cooked with pho style flavour and didn't go with the cauliflower cheese puree, was missing the Asian jus and salt roasted macadamia listed on the menu and also came with a side of raw broccoli. At dessert we liked the sound of the lemon tart but were told that it was also not available. Two starters, two flights of wine, three glasses of wine, two mains and one dessert for $280 was disappointing compared to other food we'd had in Tasmania. Not a premium food experience but nice wine and friendly staff.

Had an absolutely amazing lunch at the winery,it is abit on the pricier side,but given how fresh the ingredients are,it was worth it Their ciders are underrated btw,give them a try.Its soo good

Stopped here for lunch with no real expectations. Left with a full belly and considerably lighter wallet after tasting some truly great reds! The seafood chowder is highly recommend as a lunch option and the apple cherry cider is a great alternative to wine. Highly recommended.

Came for a light lunch and had the most delicious seafood chowder! Highly recommend. Different to other chowders tasted in Tassie, this was a tomatoe base and had the perfect balance of tangy and creamy with a mix of delectable fresh seafood. So good. Didn't try the wines or the ciders but staff were friendly.

We went for lunch whilst on a 4 day stay on Bruny Island. We thought the wines were very good, I really liked the Chardonnay. However, the food wasn’t so great, especially for the price. I had the seafood chowder which was nice, and packed full of fresh seafood. However my partner had the lamb rack, which was chewy, not very tender and hard to cut off the bone. We found the service was little rushed, I guess most people don’t stop long there as many are on day trips, whereas we like to stay a while for winery lunches. Overall it was generally a positive experience.

After oysters and cheese, we dropped by here for a sip and light food. Here offers mains with many options and spacious dining area. I wonder why people all flocked into the hotel restaurant. We had a platter here which has a variety of local produce. Great to taste oysters from a different farm. The taster at cellar door is a very good deal. We brought a wine home.

Had the most amazing lunch. Five of us and not one complaint. Served with a few bottles of the Rose. This place never disappoints. We were here 6 years ago and the service wine and food are fabulous still.

Went for lunch for our second visit to Bruny Island. Unfortunately was disappointed with a lot of the menu being unavailable however chose the lamb rack, my wife got the tacos (Chicken and lamb). The tacos were delicious and very filling with no complaints at all, the lamb rack however was not tender at all and was very chewy and difficult to get off the bone and the truffle mash was different but delicious, overall would definitely come back again however hope to have a more broad choice of meal. The service was average but not negative at all! Thank you

Reportedly Australia's southernmost winery, this is a great spot for tasting and for lunch. In fact it may be more of a restaurant that owns a winery rather than the other way round. We booked a 1:30 time for lunch and had a great table outside on the shady patio on an uncharacteristically warm (88 degrees!) summer day. The menu features lots of choices from burgers to shareable platters. We opted for a cheese platter with local l, some chili roasted almonds and the baked Bree. It was the perfect lunch. We also enjoyed a glass of the Sauvignon blanc and the sparkling rose with the meal. Following the meal, we stepped up to the tasting area ($5 pp-free with a bottle purchase) and sampled the entirety of their selection from unplanned Rose (last year's fires tainted the skin on the Pinot noir so the winemaker made a switch-delicious) to Sauvignon blanc, Riesling and Pinot noir. Wines were nice quality. While this place is on the bus tour circuit, they kept the larger groups segregated in the back of the large restaurant so we weren't at all impacted. It's worth the drive for the lunch quality alone and a peaceful and relaxing spot.

Our fourth and last pit stop was at Bruny Island Premium Wines. You have to drive a few minutes on a gravel road to get there but it wasn't that bad. We dropped in just before closing (around 4:45pm). Sadly, food is only served from 11:00am to 4:00pm. Take note if you want to eat! Our server/pourer was awesome; turns out she's from Canada too. Talk about small world. There's two options for wine tasting ($5.00 AUD/person for four samples or $10.00 AUD to try all 10). You choose anything from the list of red, whites and ciders. All are grown on site! - 2x Wine tastings ($5.00 AUD) - I was driving but the girls each did a sampling. Some interesting offerings, especially the cider. - Blapple ($14.00 AUD bottle) - apple and blackberry. This is what you call completely drinkable. The combo was wonderfully delicious. Cool spot. Make sure you try the blapple!

Friendly place that we thought we'd stop by for lunch. Did wine tasting prior to lunch, which helped decide which one to have during lunch. We had the wallaby, lamb chops and seafood chowder to share between three people. We thought it might not have been enough but it was quite filling suprisingly! The wallaby was done rare to ensure it was tender and didn't taste as game-y as we thought it might have been. Cousin had a nice glass of red to go with the wallaby and the lamb. The chowder was nice with a bit of sourdough and went well with the glass of Sauvignon blanc! Picturesque setting for lunch. Would suggest an early lunch to ensure a table as it was quite busy by the time we finished. Would recommend this place for lunch if heading to Bruny Island!

Very nice! We had lunch here while spending a couple of days on the Island. Definitely the best food on the Island! Between us we had the lamb special, a steak and the Toulouse sausages (from Ross O'Meara's farm!). The steak was cooked a bit more than I asked for - but was so tender it really didn't matter! I loved the salad that come with it too. The sausages had a tasty apple sauce which complimented them perfectly. I didn't try the lamb but it got rave reviews. We shared the chocolate and sticky date pudding and it hit the mark. Service was good and I felt it was priced fairly. Enjoyed their wine too!

This place was a great surprise - original meals using mostly local products, great service and a nice view on the vines. For $80 we had 2 (homemade) ciders and 4 tapas (more than enough for two). In particular, the salmon skewers with an asian sauce were delicious. Good address in the neighbourhood!

Stumbled on this eatery after a late decision to visit Bruny Island for the day. Was very impressed by the food and the serene location. We had the veggie burger and the beef burger which were quite filling. We also washed the food down with the reserve sav blanc, very nice! Can highly recommend.
