Maxwell Restaurant

$$$$

The multicourse tasting menu at this winery restaurant is the most beautiful food you’ll encounter in the Vale. The presentation is often striking and innovative but the dishes themselves are still eminently approachable. Multiple seafood courses lead into a three-part main before desserts paired with Maxwell’s other famous beverage: mead. The venue itself melds traditional materials like stone and timber with more modern touches and overlooks gnarled 60-year-old shiraz vines and a working winery.
