Embers is owned by 2 sisters of Italian descent. The food is wholesome, tasty, and the serves are HUGE. Make sure you try the 3 cheese garlic bread with balsamic reduction. The service also deserves a special mention - the waiters are attentive and super friendly. They are always pretty much fully booked, but if you go early you may be able to get a table. Failing that, they have a take away downstairs, and much of the food on the menu you can also get at their Pizzeria, although their wood fired pizzas are great to takeaway and eat at the top of the Zig Zags enjoying the sun as it sinks behind the city at sunset. Warning: You could fall into a blissful food coma after an Embers experience.

Restaurant, cidery and winery all in one. An award winning venue with a great eating area overlooking the orchards in Pickering Brook. The ciders are varied, and many, and a wee bit too easy to drink. Live music on the weekends.

Drinks & Nightlife
Quaint English looking pub in the main street. You could be forgiven for thinking you are in an English pub, as most of the UK locals who live here drop into the pub for a catchup. Nice food.

This is a must-visit-here if you are in the Perth Hills Wine Region. Husband and wife winemakers Josh and Rachel Davenport have spent the past 15 years developing this small and gorgeous cellar door with sweeping views down the valley. Their award winning wines are tantalising and delicious, and they offer wines that are not produced at that other famous wine region nearby that I shall not mention. Hmm, I think I need to open a bottle of Durif right now and pop some on my yearning palette.

Aye, aye, aye, aye....visit Audrey and Jim in their cellar door perched above the vineyard with sweeping views down the valley. Audrey will be found singing and making delicious delights in the kitchen, while Jim will be standing quietly behind the counter enlightening you about the best wine to have with Audrey's delectables. Go for brunch, lunch, or just for coffee and cake. The view is worth it. Oh, and so are your hosts, and the winery dog. Caution, the driveway is pretty steep. Park on the road if you are not a confident driver.
