Relaxing lunch at Rochford

We always wanted to spend the weekend afternoon indulging ourselves with some good tasty gourmet meals, wines (though I am not very good at it) in a nice peaceful surrounding.

A couple of weeks back, we did just that! :D The weather was good, the sun was out, we didn't have anything planned, we drove to Rochford Winery for a good lunch. Its in Yarra Valley and not too far from where we live, i.e. 30 minutes drive.

The food was very good... at least a standard we would expect from a winery. Wine was ok... probably we didn't choose the right one to match with our meals.

Venison carpaccio served with raspberry vinaigrette

Steamed mussels and pipis in shellfish volute

Braised Yarra Valley lamb shank served with minted peas and truffled potato mash

Rib eye steak served with pommes anna, green peppercorn and lime butter

Creme brulee

Looking out from the restaurant - vineyard

Rochford is also opened for breakfast. Very tempted to try them out!
