Inside Brokenwood’s landmark cellar door, The Wood Restaurant delivers refined, modern Australian dining with a clear Hunter Valley accent. Executive Chef Sean Townsend designs seasonal menus with strong wine synergy — choose à la carte or let the kitchen lead with the popular ‘Feed Me’ menu. Expect pristine oysters and raw-bar openers, produce-led small plates, quality mains and polished service in a light-filled room beside the vines.
