Yarra Valley's Italian-Style Pig Party
Venture out to this Yarra Valley winery for a long lunch with lots of limoncello and porchetta.
Overview
Mandala Wines' rolling green Yarra Valley property promises a cracker of a setting for this Italian-style, al fresco feast. The winery's DiVino Ristorante will be working its magic to transform a haul of super local produce into a sumptuous three-course lunch, enjoyed with a side of vineyard views from the lush gardens.
Starring alongside a lineup of the estate's own celebrated wines, the food menu features only ingredients sourced from within one kilometre of the restaurant. Pull up a sunny patch of turf and tuck into house-made cold cuts matched to blanc de blancs, and succulent porchetta off the spit-roast, teamed with pinot noir poured straight from the barrel.
You'll finish in true Italian style, downing goat's cheese panna cotta and limoncello in the sunshine. Bring the whole gang — this one's a family-friendly affair, with ample room for running wild.
Yarra Valley's Italian-Style Pig Party is part of Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. Check out more of the festival's events here.
