About The Winery Kitchen
Espousing a paddock-to-plate philosophy in Seymour is The Winery Kitchen. Located only an hour from Melbourne and tucked into Seymour’s picturesque Somerset Crossing Vineyard, this family-run restaurant, winery and farm has quickly become a gourmet destination, attracting foodies from all over. A wood-fired oven, tiled bar and wooden canteen-style chairs add to the pastoral charm, while a vine-covered alfresco area is an ideal spot to enjoy a Mediterranean-inspired meal in the sun. Perhaps begin with nduja arancini and aioli, or polenta chips, rosemary, Parmesan and aioli, before delving into pasta dishes of fettuccine with chicken, sun-dried tomato, spinach and cream. Pizza lovers can pick up a slice of Avenel – 18-hour roasted lamb, preserved lemon, feta, minted yoghurt and mozzarella.

the gnocchi is great
Beautiful Italian food always cooked to perfection. Always dished immaculately, a gem in a small town. Always friendly smiling staff
My favourite local dining experience
Whether it's a birthday, anniversary or reason I can find, I love dining here. The staff are wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable. The food - just wow. Often I drop in just to test the specials on offer. Usually I struggle to order because it's all so good. If like woodfired pizza then this is the best going.
Amazing
Best food we have had in a long time.
Sensational
My wife and I have come on several occasions and have never been let down. The food is fantastic and so are the staff/owners. Highly recommend.

Always amazing, our now favourite place to eat and be merry!
High standards, well overdue for a hat!
Chef Sam consistently dishes out the best tasting food in the Goulburn Valley. We are so spoilt to have The Winery Kitchen in our town of Seymour. No matter how busy (they are the most popular restaurant in the town), the dishes are served impeccably. There's always something new to sample on the specials board. We love just getting all the specials every time. We are never disappointed.
Wow ?? been here 3 nights in a row ! I will never eat anywhere else when staying here , without doubt the best in Seymour
Simply the best
Exceptional
The best italian food i have ever had! Amazing quality
I have been coming to this restaurant for a very long time and it never fails to impress. My last visit with my husband was definitely the best yet. Couldn't fault it, entree, m as in and desert all spot on and although full left me salivating and eager t
Rustic gourmet delights !
We will definitely be back
We had my nephews confirmation. The food was just amazing and so fresh. Our plates were empty by the end as the food was that good. I highly recommend it to family & friends.
Great food every time
An absolute Victorian Jewel
This little restaurant provided me with one of the most excellent dining experiences I have ever had. Check out their facebook page you will be making the trip just by looking at the photos...
Best restaurant in the area
Best choice in the Seymour area (if you want something better than takeaway!), but would compete equally well with any restaurants in densely populated areas too.
Why can't all pizzas be made like these?
We all know that woodfire pizzas are the best. Who wants stodgy fat laden crusts topped with piles of food that just ends up tasting the same and leaving you bloated? Not us! We want the pizzas from the Winery Kitchen!. They are simply just divine. Beautifully cooked bases with inventive and tasty toppings that showcase the ingredients and leave you wanting more. And you can have more of the yumminess as they are just the right balance of base and topping. If you are not feeling pizzary, do not despair! There are many other wonderful dishes on the menu, that are creative, tasty and grounded in good Italian cooking principles. Great desserts too. The service is good and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. Prices are good; they reflect the quality of the food and service. Overall, you will get a good meal, at a reasonable price, that is tasty and not boring, will fill you up and is served to you within a reasonable timeframe. Excellent!
Best pizza outside of Melbourne

Italian cuisine at its best
A wonderful experience in the tradition of authentic Italian food and wine absolutely faultless.
The best pizza, the best beer, the best Chilli ice cream ever!!
The nicest pizza by far I have ever eaten with warm friendly service. Highly recommend them.
Great setting, warm hosts, incredible food, fresh, flavorsome and filling. Highlights are the woodfired pizza and slow roast lamb shoulder with pomegranate, quinoa and minted yogurt.
