Our menu is inspired by our own family gatherings, sharing food, wine, company, the beauty of our landscape and the bounty of our Estate Grown produce. Dine outdoors on the deck overlooking Lake Moodemere, or indoors in the heritage listed homestead - air conditioned in Summer with wood fires in Winter.

We grow our own lamb, wheat, honey, citrus, seasonal vegetables & herbs. All our Estate produce is sustainably produced with minimal intervention and zero food miles in a reflection of the place it was grown and the people who made it.

Our chefs have a passion for sustainability and creativity. In addition to our estate produce, we source the best of the season's harvest, with a view to minimising food miles, to enhance a vibrant, ever changing menu.

    This was our second visit to Lake Moodemere Estate. We arrived early and enjoyed some wine tasting before eating. The wines we tasted were all good, but I thought the Durif was outstanding. Two members of our party had fish of the day, which was Barramundi. I had 8 hour slow cooked lamb. Evidently the Barra was delicious. The lamb was predictably fall apart, but I thought there was too much of it. It came with three round pancake like pieces of bread (?) and I was not sure what do do with them -- perhaps an explanation might have helped. I had Muscat perfloget (spelling is wrong, I know) which consisted of a scoop of vanilla ice cream, hot black coffee and a glass of muscat. I asked, and was told they were all mixed together, then drunk. It was OK, but I wished I had ordered the two scoops of ice cream. The service was timely without undue waiting, but we had to wait a long time to settle our bill. The ambience is outstanding -- a beautiful venue beside Lake Moodemere. We were under a huge conifer with blue wrens flitting about and cockatoos screeching overhead. The winemaker, Michael Chambers, was wandering about, engaging all the diners in conversation. This was a much appreciated touch. Even though we were not in the under cover section, the noise was still appreciable, and there was a lot of 'could you repeat that'. Overall I would highly recommend Moodemere Estate Winery and restaurant. Choose carefully, and don't be afraid to ask how to approach your plate if you find what is on it confusing.

    Fantastic venue. We were greeted by Zeus the border collie who was charming. We had lunch outside overlooking the lake on a perfect Sunday afternoon. The service was excellent and we loved the wines; they were all well balanced and had a point of difference. Highly recommended.
