Twine Restaurant at Wynwood Estate, Hunter Valley
It's about Twine!
Locals and regulars of the Hunter Valley wine region are about to be treated to the newest and most exciting restaurant to open its doors this year. It's name, Twine.
Preparing to launch in September, Chef's Matt Dillow of The Verandah Restaurant and long time friend from the kitchen, Adam Ireland are the proud new owners.
Matt and Adam first met in 1993 when they both started their Commercial Cookery trade at TAFE in the Western Suburbs of Sydney. The pair have since been mates for almost 20 years, and are excited to reunite once more bring their best of two decades of experience to this unique restaurant in the Hunter Valley.
Matt comes with a vast experience in high profile kitchens from Rydges Hotels and Resorts to Barrenjoey House in Palm Beach with the last 5 years making The Hunter Valley his home at his own restaurant, the Verandah Restaurant.
Whilst Adam started his trade in Park Royal Hotels and Resorts he then took his enthusiasm international into Edinburgh's best restaurants. From there he began touring the world for seven years catering for the worlds biggest rock bands and artists, with the likes of Madonna, AC/DC and Rod Stewart. He also worked as a personal chef for a number of artists such as The Spice Girls, Smashing Pumpkins and Paul McCartney. Adam is also an experienced business owner, running his own restaurant 'Mezzo in Cronulla, which was a favourite amongst the locals and earned Adam admirable respect in the competitive Sydney restaurant industry.
Adam is looking forward to bringing his global skills to the Hunter Valley as he prepares to heat up the stoves at Twine, with a delectable modern Australian menu. The signature dish, Singapore chilli mud crab, will be available daily and another specialty on offer, the oyster platter of six oysters done six different ways.
Overlooking the picturesque vineyards, Twine spills out onto a rose-trimmed courtyard fit for lunch in the sunshine, or evening cocktails under the stars. This stunning location ensures Twine Restaurant at Wynwood Estate will make a special occasion destination for visitors and locals alike. Perfect for weddings and corporate events, Twine will cater to all styles of function.
Twine Restaurant will be open 7 days for lunch and Friday, Saturday and Sunday for dinner although group bookings and events will be welcome any time.
Weddings and Events: Twine Restaurant at Wynwood Estate features stunning rose gardens and sweeping vineyard views across the valley making it an idyllic location for your dream wedding. The beautiful manicured hedge path paves the spectacular bridal entrance up the aisle; meeting at the gazebo overlooking the vineyard where a wedding ceremony takes place. This location provides abundant opportunities for those memorable photographs.
The perfect wedding reception comes with many options, including canapés and drinks served in the garden or in the historic Wine Museum, progressing onto a sit-down dinner in the characteristic Barrel Room featuring barn-like wooden doors opening out to an outdoor area, a perfect setting to continue the dance floor festivities.
Fireside Sunday's: Sunday dinners will not be the same again; with Adam cooking up a storm on the open fire in an event suitably named "Fireside Sunday's". Twine Restaurant is bound to attract locals and the long weekenders to the theme night with a difference.
Fireside Sunday's are held every Sunday and involve slow roasted wood fired meats cooked on the open fire, ranging from "Whole snapper wrapped in banana leaf with chermoula spices" to "Preserved lemon and rosemary lamb shoulder" and "8 hour slow roasted pork". Desly Harris, Wynwood Estate's General Manager said;
"We are very excited about having Matt and Adam on board with the restaurant. I have known Matt for some years now and I am always impressed with his professionalism and creativity, with Adam's involvement adding yet another dimension. I know that the restaurant will reflect the right image for Wynwood Estate. Twine Restaurant will put us on the "must do" list for all to visit."
