What a treat to have such an amazing little wine bar in town. Showcases local wines and produce from the region with an Italian influence. Is definitely a fave. Menu changes regularly. Highly recommend and encourage to book.
The restaurant and wine bar is open from 12pm to 10pm Thursday to Sunday. Their newest venture is a cafe called ‘Next Door’-Obviously as right next door! It is open every day from 8am.
Highly recommend following this team on “facey”. They do a monthly regional wine dinner. Is usually a Wednesday and books out super quickly once announced!

Wineries within 20 min of Nagambie town
Mitchelton winery is located on the magical Goulburn river. It would have to be one of those places could spend the day.
Maybe start with a little wine tasting, wander to the Ashton tower and down into the basement to check out the impressive aboriginal art gallery and cellars. Take the ride to The observation deck at the top of the tower to check out the vista’s.
Fancy eating- choose from The Provedore or The Muse. Both use fresh local produce found throughout the Nagambie Lakes district. The Provedore is a cafe style lunch menu and The Muse restaurant prides itself on modern farmhouse cuisine. Lovely outdoor dining area for the warmer months.
