About Stumpy Gully Vineyard and Restaurant

Skip the predictable vineyard cheese board—Moorooduc’s Stumpy Gully pairs estate-grown cool-climate pours with an inventive, vibrant Asian menu. Leased to restaurant Black Salt, the kitchen steers clear of stuffy winery formulas. Timber and glass frame views across 80 acres of vines, keeping the mood grounded whether guests arrive in blazers or muddy work boots. Tables fill quickly for Chef Rachelle’s slow-cooked duck confit, messy king prawns in fragrant Thai curry sauce, and scallops slick with savory XO butter. Handing over ordering to the Chef's Selection pays dividends alongside a glass of estate Pinot Noir, while the crisp, un-cloying Moscato cleanses the palate right before the kaffir lime tart arrives.

  • Asian-Influenced Dining: Black Salt departs from classic cellar door fare with share plates like scallops in XO butter, pork buns, and duck confit.
  • Cool-Climate Pairings: Estate-grown grapes supply easy-drinking pours, led by a balanced Pinot Noir and a crisp, light Moscato.
  • Private Barrel Room: A dedicated cellar room accommodates up to 25 guests with tailored banquet menus for private celebrations.

Why Diners Choose Stumpy Gully

Why diners choose Stumpy Gully Vineyard and Restaurant for long lunches, group celebrations, and estate tastings

  • Inventive Asian fusion share plates

    Dishes like tuna sashimi with yuzu dashi, XO butter scallops, and Peking glazed duck bring vibrant, modern Asian flavours that pair directly with estate wines.

    The food leans Asian fusion, but not in a confused, overworked way. It’s sharp. Focused. Built to share.

    The choice of banquet menu meant all the dietary requirements were met. The amount of food was generous.

  • Exclusive barrel room group hosting

    A dedicated private barrel room creates an intimate, focused environment for milestone lunches and sit-down celebrations of up to 25 guests.

    We just had a celebration lunch where we booked the barrel room. We had 25 guests for a sit down lunch. It was simply great!

  • Down-to-earth, unpretentious hospitality

    Visitors enjoy an unhurried, welcoming estate atmosphere free from formality, pretense, or commercial pressure.

    Down to earth friendly service by people who clearly love working here. Not too big, lovely setting. Like many wineries with integrated restaurants used to be before getting way too pretentious.

  • Relaxed long lunch vineyard setting

    Sunlit indoor-outdoor dining and a peaceful rural outlook encourage guests to ease into long afternoons over wine and shared dishes.

    You walk out full, a little slower, already planning the next visit. Because this place? It’s built for long lunches that turn into late afternoons.
