Reviews
"We had the wine tasting at the cellar door before heading into the restaurant for lunch. The tasting experience hosted by Djanna was amazing, we had a good time and learnt a lot about wines from the region. Restaurant - portions were huge (as cautioned), we had 2 entrées, 2 sides and a main. The fried barramundi wings were the standout fish, it was fresh and the fried outer skin went so well with the juicy meat. Octopus was grilled perfectly. Great value overall. We had the chocolate chip dessert, which was served piping hot in a cast iron pan, topped with an ice cream - 10/10."
"Everything was lovely. We ordered the special three dish share plate menu with a glass of wine for four of us and found it was excellent value, and the quality and flavours were sublime. Staff were friendly and helpful and location overlooking the vines quite beautiful. It was a little noisier than we would have liked but that’s what happens with hard floors and shiny surfaces. As MP locals who came here for our first time and brought interstate house guests here for lunch, we will definitely be back!"
"Really enjoyed the settings. Looks fine dining but yet feels very casual. Food was good, excellent service from the staff and just nothing to fault with this place. Cellar door is few steps away and we enjoyed the pinot."
"Simply wonderful experience at Rare Hare. The staff were friendly, courteous and accommodating - we had a infant in tow and one of the staff managed to get us a private area at the adjacent hotel lobby to feed him. The menu was interesting and we ordered several dishes for sharing all which tasted fresh and tasty! The ambience and aesthetic of the place is on point with the communal tables overlooking the vineyard. Our favorite dish was the barramundi wings and wood fired chocolate chip cookie. Overall, pretty impressive vineyard that’s grand yet welcoming."
