Poachers Pantry Smokehouse Restaurant and Vineyard





Overview
Poachers Pantry is nestled in the hills just 30 minutes from Canberra’s CBD. It is a business built around the love of good food and wine and sharing it with family and friends. Located on a rural property, its artisan smokehouse and cool climate vineyard are showcased in its contemporary restaurant, cellar door and farm shop.
The restaurant serves a three-course set menu Friday - Sunday with a Poachers Vineyard wine pairing option - alternatively select the wines by the glass or bottle. Its range of smoked meats is available from its walk-in pantry - buy the smoked duck breast – a Sydney Royal Show Champion – and a bottle of the Poachers Pinot Noir for the ultimate culinary souvenir. In summer, the terrace is a lovely spot to enjoy a Poachers picnic and a glass of wine. In winter the log fire is the place to enjoy a slow-cooked dish with a glass of Shiraz.
Ideally located close to the vineyards of Murrumbateman, it is the perfect place to have lunch while exploring the wine district.
