The entry is vanilla cheese co stracciatella, oyster mushrooms pickled with Szechuan pepper & verjuice, asparagus , miso egg plant , almond, green onion oil. Even this dishes is vegetarian, but the taste is rather rich, it is so cheesy and creamy, with yummy miso egg plant and asparagus, the mushroom are soft too.
The main is wood lamb rump, salsa verda, buttered cos lettuce.. etc. the lamb is cooked medium rare. The meat is tender and soft, and the sauce is rather tasty. And portion is generous too.
The dessert is berries with vanilla ice cream. It is a rather light dessert, and the berries are fresh.
The flat white is very rich in taste, the coffee got strong aroma, and the texture is smooth too.
P.s: The scenery of this restaurant is stunning!

Josef Chromy Wines is on my top 5 best places to eat! No words can describe how delicious the food was. We had a 2005 Vintage Chardonnay, which complimented our food perfectly. 20min from the airport, I know where I'm going when I come back to Launceston.

Sleek, contemporary restaurant with beautifully-done mod Oz cuisine in a lovely countryside location. The brasserie, serving more casual fare, spreads out onto the surrounding verandah, right up against the windowside restaurant tables, which makes for a slightly odd contrast in dining experiences, but it’s still a lovely day out.

Came to this hyperadvertised winery, seeing its advertisement in the plane, at the airport, TV, review and even Google Maps and see what the hype is. And also needing a place to chill after a trip up the Ben Lomond.
Well managed gardens, but the outdoor seatings need some refurbishing and bird drops all over the furniture needs cleaning.
Inside, a rather small area but posh and well presented.
Friendly and attentive staffs deserve commendation.
I had the flights of pinot noir tasting for $15. Sat outside with a piece of tasting paper on the flight of pinot noir. The Sally field blend was well balanced and the 2021 Josef Chromy Pinot Noir is bursting of juicy Berry palate, very enjoyable.
Ended it with a glass of Chardonnay, crisp, buttery, lemony with a long finish.
Great wine but a better outdoor furniture upkeep with some of their advertising funds makes better sense.
*edit, unfortunately downgrading the service from the experience I had at the Tasmania Wine Fair. Was totally ignored by the Polish lady (while being served for a tasting), chatting across with another person while I stand like a total idiot waiting for another wine to be served. It's unprofessional and humiliating.

Highly recommend. Thanks guys.

Picture perfect in every way. Josef Chromy Wines has it all, top quality and tasty food, great wine, great service and picturesque views of the gardens and vines.
There is nothing I can fault or would change.
Every plate of food not only looked fantastic but most importantly, they all tasted so good.
It was certainly value for money.
Looking forward to returning the next time we cross the Strait from Melbourne.

We were seated at benches on stools though I believe we could have sat outside if we had requested to do so.
We did the Classics tasting flight (NV Tasmanian Cuvee, Brut Finesse 2018 sparkling, 2022 Pinot Gris and 2020 Pinot Noir) and the Reds tasting flight (2021 Pepik Pinot Noir, 2021 Rose (normally Pinot Noir but his was substituted), 2021 Cabernet Merlot and NV Ruby Pinot). There was a third tasting flight "Aromatics" available that included two different Reislings, a Pinot Gris and a Rose.
Preferred the sparkling and Pinot Noirs, though obviously personal taste.
Staff were helpful and friendly although the associated tasting notes with each flight were very useful.
Unfortunately though you could not offset the cost of the tasting against purchases of wine, which is increasingly becoming the case.
We stayed for lunch and would recommend dining here.

Wine, the reason we came for was quite good, the service however was appalling. Never was spoken to again. As we were leaving, again, nothing. Didn't feel like buying anything after this impersonal service. Oh, and after 40 minutes no one else arrived, and those seats with the views, yes, remained unused.

The lunch is served in their multi capable restaurant which is a delight to visit and as a function capable venue beautifully set out and stylish.
The lunch is just superb. They have a very good kitchen, staffed with very accomplished cooks and of course a very talented Head Chef.
The food choices were so interesting and so flavourful.
The service was excellent. We really enjoyed our visit here and the experience was just so enjoyable. Highly recommend a visit here.

First visit there in Feb 22, lunch was okay but didn’t quite buy into how great it was.
Latest lunch there, we got it. Very very good lunch. Good portion sizes, interesting dishes to choose from as a non vegetarian.
Though if you are vegetarian you’re pretty much limited to one option on the set menu for each course. Kids menu is pretty normal, you’d find it anywhere in oz
Nice option for wine by the carafe as well.

We stopped here around 4pm, and despite the bar and wine tastings being closed, Sandy accommodated us with a short, complimentary wine tasting instead.
She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the wines, and we throughly enjoyed all the ones we tasted.
We took away a bottle of Pinot Gris to enjoy with our dinner and had a wander around the beautiful grounds as the sun was setting.

Situated in Tamar Valley with beautiful lake and vineyard views. We got a reservation for lunch and were slightly disappointed that our food was not as good as the online reviews. My Pan Seared Market Fish was too dry in texture and husband’s lamb was under-seasoned ???? But apart from that, the rest was pretty good! ???????? Sadly, we didn't get to do the wine tasting too as it was fully booked.

Just visited the winery today. I've never had such a comfortable wine tasting session! It's totally well worth $15 and the effort to make the booking. Sandy(the lady who served us) is very knowledgeable and very willing to share and introduce wine that she thinks we will like based on our drinking preference. She made us feel at home. The surroundings around the winery are also beautiful and offer lots of opportunities for nice photos. It's a must go place if you are in Launceston! Will definitely come again for my next trip :)

Enjoyed our wine tasting, especially we were sat down by the big window overlooking the vineyard. We also made reservations for lunch, and it was delicious! They also have a great outdoor space to accomodate large groups. The day when we were here, there’s a group of more than 30 people. Make sure you also spend some time walking around the estate, there’s a lake :)

The wine tasting was incredible. Josef Chromy has long been one of our favourite Pinot Noir so to try all the different wines was an amazing experience.
The young guy who talked us through the history of Josef Chromy was so friendly & also very knowledgeable on the wines.
Josef Chromy is a fascinating man, and we’ve since realised everyone in Tasmania thinks he is a great person who has contributed a lot to Tasmania.
After the tasting we had lunch in the restaurant. The food was brilliant! The popularity of the restaurant was evident in that it appeared fully booked for a Wednesday lunch!
The grounds itself are beautiful.
I really look forward to visiting again.

There were only us and another couple on the private one hour tour through the history of Josef Chromy Wines, introducing us to the ampelography vineyard and showcasing the traditional methods of sparkling wines.
We then went on a one on one wine tasting experience with the lovely Sandy who was so knowledgeable and patient especially with me as I'm not a wine drinker but there to support my wife.
We certainly did sample many wines, white, red, sweet and dry and we both agreed on the Josef Chromy Zweigelt, superb wine.
After the wine tasting we then enjoyed a delicious 2 course meal in the dining room along with 2 glasses of wine each. The meal was fine dining at its best, amazing food and service our waitress was so efficient and friendly.
The grounds are also amazing its such a picturesque place to visit.
We can't recommend the Go Behind The Label experience enough, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much.
PS. The Josef Chromy Zweigelt wine we purchased was perfect on our 2 night stay at Freycinet Resort.
