"We had an absolutely outstanding experience at Petersons House restaurant! From start to finish, everything was flawless. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a beautiful meal.
The service was impeccable, and the food was simply exceptional. The lamb rack was to die for—perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavour. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and exceeded expectations. The whole dining experience was such a pleasure and the deconstructed lemon meringue was nothing short of sensational – the perfect finish to an amazing meal.
Our grandchildren were also so well catered for and entertained with the activity book waiting for them at the table on arrival, which made the experience even more special.
Petersons House is a true gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be returning!"

"Our experience at Restaurant Cuvée was delightful!
Warm welcoming hosts and wonderful setting under the trees looking across the vines.
We were treated to a yummy lunch of zucchini flowers, fresh sourdough, lamb rack and rocket salad. Indulgent and great food! Complimented with great bubbles and followed up with a shared dessert of pavlova and exquisite Davidson plum ice cream!
Kim was our waiter and she was so lovely. The perfect combination of friendly conversation and professional service. Kim enhanced our experience and was so nice to both of us and our dog, Betty.
Highly recommend a long lunch here !!!"

"Peterson House is an absolute dream to shoot! I love that I can get ceremony shots inside and then change up the lighting with the sandstone chapel outside all in one place. The lighting inside the chapel is pure magic!
The team is always fantastic too. Here are a few photos from my last wedding there so you can see what I mean!"
