After a three year hiatus the 2023 Age Good Food Guide Awards are back and better than ever… And we’re absolutely thrilled the Oakridge restaurant has retained its One Chef’s Hat!

This is testament to the extremely hard work and passion of the entire kitchen and service team, led by our Executive Chef, Aaron Brodie.

Read the full review below:

“Great winery views meet an even greater sustainable vision.
Want to talk sustainable wine-dining? Oakridge rides the green wave hard, from Tesla chargers in the car park to a blooming kitchen garden, which chef Aaron Brodie integrates into generous three or four course menus sprinkled with the bounty of the Yarra Valley.
Lunch, which comes with vineyard views, begins with your table engulfed by snacks: house-made kangaroo and emu charcuterie, mustardy zucchini pickles preserved from the summer harvest and mayne a rich, silky miso custard loaded with wild mushrooms and macadamias. Malty focaccia made from fresh-milled grains with Oakridge’s pinot noir turned to sweet vincotto typifies the mix of old-world skills and modern sensibilities at play. Likewise plush duck breast with textbook duck-neck sausage and a dessert of steamed cake embedded with quandongs. And slicked with custard. A rigorously drilled service team and beautiful cellar door, meanwhile, tie the package in a neat bow.” ~ 2023 Age Good Food Guide
