Discover where to fill your belly and enjoy a cleansing ale in Bruthen.
For hearty brunches, cakes and sweets, paninis and some more refined mains, Tambo Valley Honey is your go-to. The open, high-ceilinged space manages to be warm and inviting amidst wooden trusses and exposed brick walls. Honey is king on this menu – expect Russian honey cake, burnt honey cheesecake and baklava, as well as honey venison sausages or seared scallop with banksia honey. There are literally buckets of honey to take home for later.
Head to Bruthen Heritage Tea Rooms for an afternoon featuring scones, jam and lashings of cream.
Your pub-grub needs will be met at Bruthen Inn Hotel, slinging parmas, steaks and pizza from the iconic red brick hotel.
A 15-minute drive will have you reach a cluster of wineries who make use of their maritime climate and clifftop positions to produce elegant, refined wines. Perched atop a hill is the lime green cellar door of Tambo Winery with a leafy alfresco area taking in views over the valley. Sarsfield Estate (open by appointment only) is a small batch producer using traditional fermentation techniques and barrel maturation. Nicholson River Winery gets top billing for views atop the bluff to the weaving Nicholson River below. After your tasting, stay on to enjoy a glass of wine from the outdoor area.
