ten minutes by tractor

i took my partner here for his birthday and despite it was a one-hour drive, ten minutes by tractor delivered exceptional, refined food that really made the night extra special. i've been here in the past for wine tasting during the day and glancing over at the finished dishes on kitchen bench when the restaurant was closing at lunch, the plates were so attractive i had to come back. dinner overlooking the vine-yards was perfect, great ambience, outstandingservicefrom all the friendly staff and the food was faultless. every dish of the eight-course degustation menu was unique, well-presented and the waitress even gave me extra red wine jus (more sauce makes cindy extra happy haha). the wine menu was on-point, definitely try the estate pinot noir which complemented the dishes so well (not too dense and a little more fruitier). expensive but worth every dime for such an experience, and i can't wait to come back to try the a la carte menu!

one of the best dining experiences i've had in my life.
as soon as you walk in you are made to feel comfortable and at home.
we started off with the complimentary wine tasting, where we got to try some magnificent wines, that we then chose to have some with our lunch.
graham, the restaurant manager is an absolute gentleman. theservicethat him and his staff offer is second to none.
we were seated promptly to our table near the window so we overlooked an amazing setting on a wonderful sunny afternoon.
not once during the lunch did we feel rushed or pushed to order, it was all very at our leisure but with that attentive non intrusive service.
to start i had the vegetarian rotolo - think rolled gnocchi and pan fried, followed by fish of the day (i can't remember the type but it was amazing) lots of different flavours happening on the plate and finished with a selection of fine cheeses from their fromagerie menu.
their rose wine - 10x, is outstanding as is some of the pinot noirs we consumed.
i highly recommend getting dropped off and picked up from the venue and not driving, so you can enjoy a leisurely lunch with beautiful wines.
i can't wait to come back! until next time...

rates amongst one of the best restaurants in victoria. amazing menu, fabulous views, exceptionalservicein a warm and inviting atmosphere. fabulous lunch celebration and can't wait to return.

love love loved it! my sister and i had heard such great things about the food andservicehere and we were not disappointed. we decided to drop by on a whim and right from the start, the waiters were so friendly. we did the 5 course degustation and everything was delicious! the quail was the standout dish, with the apple drink. and the dessert was amazingly refreshing. couldn't fault the atmosphere of the restaurant and the view was an added bonus. highly recommend a visit!

awesome!!! went here with a large group for a long lunch.servicewas excellent. the pinot we were drinking was soooo good we went through several bottles. the food was superb, we all did 3 course lunch and between us ordered most things on the menu and everyone was very happy with their meals. highly recommend. can't wait to come back!

couldn’t rate our experience more highly! everything was perfect- from the incredible food, to the attentive, friendlyserviceand beautiful setting and atmosphere. they were extremely accomodating of our dietary requirements.
worth every cent.

lovely birthday lunch. food was lovely,serviceattentive and restaurant and surrounds picturesque.

one of the absolute best restaurant experiences i have ever had! food was sublime,serviceoutstanding, ambience fabulous. a very special and memorable event.

what a delightful fine dining experience in flinders! the cocktail serves of salmon roe and lamb cutlets beautifully foreshadowed the exquisite three course meal that followed! even the brown butter beer roll - crisp and crusty on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside with in-house churned butter on the side - was so good! food heaven. they make a really good cappuccino, too. the wine list was extensive, although the absence of nz marlborough choices was notable. theservicewas great! the high ratio of wait staff (quite a few of whom are french) to guests ensured a seamless experience. very happy to recommend @10xtractor!!

i was so looking forward to my lunch here and unfortunately i was let down. the entree of spanner crab w local native herbs and peas was refreshing and tasty. however, my main - hapuka was flakey and overcooked! hapuka is my favourite white fish and i’ve grilled/baked/fried this cut many times before. i don’t identify myself as a home cook (why cook when you can eat out) or a fish monger, but a fresh piece of hapuka should never be flaky. i drowned my fish with their burnt butter ‘jus’ so it didn’t taste chewy and flaky. i enjoyed the heritage cauliflower & roasted macadamia salad that came with the hapuka.
my friend had the duck, which looked colourful and pretty but she reported that the duck was average in taste but blueberry jus was delightful and made the dish.
overall they failed to impress with their main proteins, and was able to ‘recover’ with their side dishes/condiments.
the staff provided excellentserviceand their estate pinot noir is spectacular!

a friend and i had the eight courses for sunday lunch. theservicewas perfection from the moment we opened the front door! outstanding staff, beautiful decor, and the most perfect food! everything was just excellent. we specifically had wonderfullservicefrom a lovely french waitress with gold glasses and the manager graham. we will be back soon!

theservicewas fantastic and the food fabulous. as someone who can't eat dairy and doesn't eat meat they not only catered for me in every dish but went over and beyond to ensure my experience was just as good as everyone else's. we had the 5 dish digestation and it was superb. great place, want to go again.

the dining experience of a lifetime. i rate this as the greatest experience i have ever had and that's a massive call. started off with a wine tasting before moving to our table on the window with a breathtaking view. the amuse bouche was a great little kick start followed by perfectly warm bread with like a whipped butter and olive oil... 10/10 entree for me was the skull island prawns, so fresh and the passionfruit and dill sauces worked perfect... another 10. i was then tossing up between the duck and the lamb for main when graham the restaurant manager took my menu and said leave it with me... to my delight he brought to the table a half serve of both the lamb and the duck... it's that sort ofservicethat makes a visit to this place so amazing. the waiters are absolute professionals and anyone running aservicerelated business should come here and witness poetry in motion. 100/10 from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. already planning the return visit... oh and the wine is also top class

great venue. they produce their own wine. food is good,serviceis great. on the higher price end but it is worth the exprience. recommend it ifyou arein mornington penisula area.

what an amazing culinary experience, definitely a must try if you are staying down the peninsula. we brought my cousin from the us here had a wine tasting before we were seated for lunch (did buy a couple bottles of red). we started with the freshly baked bread which was divine and then each ordered an entree and main, and all the dishes were delicious.

the presentation was just perfect and it all tasted just as good as it looked.servicewas impeccable, the waiter helped match wines to our meals and was extremely professional without being over the top. everything here was top notch and i will certainly be back to sample other dishes on their menu.
