Overview
We've found your next weekend getaway. Experience the magic of the Murray River region at Wildergreen, Moama. The new hospitality and lifestyle precinct focuses on food, drinks and gathering, and is unlike anything else in the region.
The garden-filled, nature-led precinct has been designed to invite exploration, celebrate life's simple pleasures, encourage playfulness and fun, and draw stronger connections to the natural world. Wander the garden paths, sip spritzes in the sun, and enjoy the out-of-town, fresh-breeze feeling.
At the heart of Wildergreen is Embr, a fire-led Italian restaurant where Neapolitan-style pizzas and handmade pastas take centre stage. The menu is built on the experiences of Sardinian-born chef Daniel Girau in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe and Australia, and features native Australian ingredients such as Davidson plum, wattleseed, pepperberry and lemon myrtle.
Girau says, "At Embr, fire is at the heart of everything we do. It shapes the flavour, pace, and personality of the dishes, bringing simplicity, honesty, and a sense of theatre to the table." Head out of town for a long leisurely lunch, or linger over a romantic dinner, and enjoy dishes shaped by local ingredients and seasonal produce.
Menu highlights include the likes of burrata with chargrilled nectarines, Amatriciane supplì and fish crudo with finger lime. The wood-fired pizzas are crunchy and charry, with bold toppings including fennel sausage, truffle cream and bush honey. If you're here to celebrate, try the luxe fire-roasted, one-kilogram Fiorentina steak for two and finish with a limoncello tiramisu or lemon myrtle panna cotta.
Paul Barnes, CEO of Moama Bowling Club, says, "With Embr leading the way, Wildergreen becomes more than a precinct; it's a destination for dining, connection, and everyday good times."
