The Wood Restaurant and Terrace

The Wood is the restaurant and terrace at Brokenwood on McDonalds Road in Pokolbin, cooking modern Australian with a view across the estate vineyards. Lunch runs Friday to Tuesday from midday to 3pm, and the kitchen is closed Wednesday and Thursday. You can order à la carte or take the Feed Me set menu, with occasional evening banquets announced separately.

The wine list is built around Brokenwood's own Semillon and Shiraz, alongside a range of other regional producers. Reservations are encouraged rather than required, so a walk-in is possible but not guaranteed at a busy lunch. Sitting at one of the region's larger cellar doors, it works as a lunch stop that keeps the tasting and the meal on one site, which suits a group who want to make an afternoon of Brokenwood rather than move between venues.
