About The Winery Kitchen

Just off the Hume, this regional vineyard kitchen serves wood-fired pizzas and scratch-made pasta that easily hold their own against Melbourne standards. Diners praise the blistered crusts and rich fillings—from hot honey salami to pork sausage macaroni cooked properly al dente. Outdoor tables sit beneath leafy vine canopies, while the fireside dining room accommodates road-trippers and long lunches. Gluten-free diners are well looked after with scratch-made pizza dough and dedicated pasta options. On Sunday nights, the kitchen runs a clever no-waste menu, turning weekend surplus and open bottles into discounted seasonal dishes.

  • Sunday No-Waste Menu: Surplus weekend produce and open bottles become creative, discounted seasonal plates before midweek closure.
  • Scratch Gluten-Free Options: Gluten-free diners can count on in-house scratch-made pizza crusts and pasta dishes.
  • Vineyard Canopy & Fireplace: Dine outdoors under grapevine leaves or indoors by the fireplace just off the Hume Highway.

Why Dine at The Winery Kitchen

Authentic wood-fired Italian dining, sustainable seasonal specials, and welcoming regional hospitality just off the Hume.

  • City-Standard Italian in Regional Victoria

    Handcrafted pasta dishes and authentic wood-fired pizzas rival top metropolitan trattorias right in regional Seymour.

    This restaurant puts most of the ‘Italian’ restaurants in Melbourne to shame with their exemplary service and truly authentic pasta.

  • Picturesque Vineyard & Fireside Setting

    Guests dine surrounded by a working vineyard, either outdoors under vine leaves or inside by the roaring fireplace.

    Their is a large indoor restaurant seating 160 people or an outdoor area where we sat under vine leaves on a sunny day.

  • Effortless Detour Off the Hume Highway

    Located just minutes off the Hume Highway, it offers road trippers a refreshing, high-quality detour for dine-in or quick takeout.

    Just a few minutes off the Hume. Creative Italian dishes. Service was really attentive and helpful.

  • Sunday Night 'No Waste' Specials

    Sunday evenings feature a creative discounted menu repurposing weekend surplus produce and open wine bottles prior to midweek rest days.

    Since the restaurant is closed on Monday / Tuesday, they create dishes with all of the leftover produce and sell at a discounted rate (this includes open bottles of wine). Such a creative and tasty way to prevent waste!

  • House-Made Gluten-Free Dough & Pasta

    Gluten-intolerant guests can fully enjoy wood-fired pizza with scratch-made in-house gluten-free crusts and dedicated pasta options.

    They have many gluten free pasta and pizza options. They even make their GF pizza based in house which tasted fantastic.
