Faith Curtis and staff invite you to visit the Australian Regional Food Store & Café when visiting the Hunter Valley and The Small Winemakers Centre. Our produce café is nestled in wonderful Australian Bushland overlooking water, this restful environment makes it the perfect place to relax and chill away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life.

Fine food products, including a range of organic produce, are showcased in our Produce Store - enjoy our regular tastings and recipe ideas. Taste jams from Tasmania, native Australian herbs and spices, old fashioned cordials, specialty cheeses, meats and breads.

Discover the latest or upcoming food trends, take home some quality store cupboard items to spoil yourself and your friends, or source your Hunter Valley food and wine supplies.

Our Regional Food Café operates daily from 10am to 5pm, is fully licensed to drink or drink & dine.

We serve lunch all day, this allows you to tour the vineyards knowing that an early or late lunch will fit in to your plans. Menu options include nibbles such as Cantaloupe, Prosciutto & Baby Figs, imaginative bread based lunches or something more substantial, perhaps Gourmet Bangers & Mash or Green Chilli Chicken Pilaf.

The perfect Wine Country lunch of specialty cheeses, pates, meats, and bread is ready to be enjoyed all day. Quench your thirst with a beverage of your choice, a range of Australian Beers and wines completes your regional experience.

Group booking welcome. Food and wine matchings also available on request.
