Ash & Ember hosted by Oakridge Wines

Join us for a spectacular celebration of Yarra Valley winter produce. Oakridge Head Chef, Daniel Snooks, finds inspiration through the restaurant’s panoramic windows and in the estate's abundant kitchen garden. The architectural conduit between the guest experience and the Yarra Valley landscape has sparked Daniel's desire to create a seamless connection between the region, the dining room and the kitchen.

“It’s so exciting to feed guests produce that has literally been picked that morning, and for them to taste the difference between the flavour of vegetables they know and those bursting with freshness.” - Daniel Snooks.

Enjoy the warmth of fire pits and delicious food at Oakridge this Fireside Festival. Tickets for our Ash & Ember dinner include canapés and Blanc de Blancs sparkling on arrival, followed by a decadent three course meal paired with premium back vintage and large format wines.
