Book NowAbout Grass Valley
Tawonga South’s favorite alpine refuel pairs punchy espresso and thick pastrami toasties with evening wood-fired pizzas. Crisp thin crusts emerge with toppings like mortadella or roasted baba ganoush and pine nuts, balanced by a sharp broccoli salad and regional Victorian pours. Skiers winding down from Falls Creek gather under overhead outdoor heaters facing snowy ridgelines, or grab a seat by the indoor hearth. Reservations help at dinner—tables fill fast once mountain runs wrap up.
- Wood-Fired Thin Crusts: Crisp thin crusts topped with inventive combinations like baba ganoush, pine nuts, or mortadella, matched with regional wines.
