About Russo Estate Winery & Restaurant

Enjoy a chilled glass of wine and fine fare overlooking the beautiful vineyard and waterfall at Russo Estate Winery & Restaurant on Holden Road in Diggers Rest.

With a Modern Australian menu brimming with choice, expect stunningly plated starters such as chilli mussels in sugo sauce with ciabatta bread; before a memorable main of housemade fettuccine with calamari, mussels, prawns, fish, chilli, garlic, tomato, capers, herbs and olive oil, best enjoyed with glass of estate white. Be sure to leave room for a decadent dessert of baked cheesecake, strawberries and double cream.

Pasta
Pasta great but looking at some of the other meals served ie the chicken Parma looked a bit dry not enough sauce but that doesn’t mean it may always be like that ?? Depends on the chef on the day I guess. Nice location.

Delightful experience
Wasn't sure about Rosso Estate, however on arrival it looked very nice, sadly, we weren't greeted at the door, however, found our way to our table, and glad we did. The food was really delicious, although one order wasn't met, but the offered meal was nice. The view from the windows is lovely, and we had a really enjoyable evening.
