restaurant botanica

Nestled amidst the vineyards, Restaurant Botanica at Spicers Vineyards Estate is well-known for its delicious food, extensive wine list and superb service, making it a huge Hunter Valley drawcard in its own right.

Style

Charming, regional and rustic, Restaurant Botanica specialises in modern Australian cuisine, produced by renowned chef Mark Stapleton. With a menu based around wine-friendly flavours, and some of the produce coming from Spicers Vineyard Estate’s own kitchen garden, an unforgettable dining experience is guaranteed.

As you would expect in the heart of the Hunter, Restaurant Botanica also offers an extensive and impressive wine list. In fact, we re-invest in the cellar every month to ensure we’re always offering the best.

Setting

Service is professional and unobtrusive, and the ambience just right, offering a warm winter fire for the cooler months, and alfresco dining in summer. In fact, our friendly team can even lay a picnic rug under a shady tree or within our vineyard so you can enjoy a lunchtime picnic and really make the most of the weather.
