Located in Victoria’s stunning King Valley region, Dal Zotto Winery is a must visit location.
Famous for its Prosecco, Dal Zotto offered several stunning versions - we indulged in their award winning Col Fondo, which is crafted using original Italian pre-industrialized methods, undergoing its second fermentation in the bottle to create a less fizzy, complex and refreshing taste with a hint of lemon sorbet. I was intrigued by the way the bottle is gently rolled prior to serving to blend the sediment and enhance the flavour! Receiving 95 Halliday Points, the Col Fondo is definitely a winner in my books.
After enjoying a wine tasting at their cellar door, we headed to their casual trattoria for a relaxed lunch overlooking the stunning vineyards, outdoor informal dining area and foothills of the Alpine National Park - what a backdrop!
Our pick of wines for lunch was the Barbera which was the perfect accompaniment to our tomato based pizza.
The food was deliziosa, with quality ingredients and the service was friendly, efficient and accommodating.
I can highly recommend every dish we were served. The polenta chips with whipped ricotta and pomegranate molasses were light, crispy and extremely more ish - a definite winner! The rocket and pear salad with crispy prosciutto was super tasty, but nothing (and I mean nothing) compared to the incredible wood fired pizza! The crust was light, airy and crispy and the thin base was topped with a tomato base, fior di latte cheese, San Daniele prosciutto & rocket. I was literally in heaven. It was THAT good.
Overall, a sensational way to start a relaxing extra long weekend and highly...
Read moreSome friends had been raving on about their trip to Dal Zotto Wines / Trattoria and how they had a magical time there so we finally went there to try ourselves. The verdict? It was AMAZING!!! What an experience!!! Sipping Prosecco as a starter, overlooking the beautiful winery and the centrepiece 450 year old tree was really truly magical. The food we ordered was super delicious! The entree of Figs, wrapped around with prosciutto and oozing in the centre with gorgonzola cheese is to die for. Then our main, which was the crispy pork belly with roast potatoes, tomatoes and pear was simply divine. I savoured and enjoyed every bite. If that was not enough, the Tiramisu dessert was icing on the cake! Thank you Marco, Lily,, Alysha and Sophie for your wonderful service! and much compliments to the Chef Luca and his team for cooking up just mouth watering and sumptuous cuisine!! If you are looking for a magical and memorable experience, I highly, highly recommend Dal Zotto. Thank you Dal Zotto, we will...
Read moreToday we had lunch at Dal Zotto winery. The food and staff were amazing......sadly the were 5 drunken women in the restaurant (l will now refer to them as drunken hyeanas). They were so loud and had way too much alcohol. We eat our beautiful meal very quickly as their outlandish behaviour was too much for us. Our beautiful waitress saw how frustrated we were and when paying the bill did not charge us for some wine....you are a legend! An hour after we left my partner received a phone call from the beautiful Italian owner and he was very embarrassed when he found out about these hyenas. He informed us that the hyenas were asked to leave the restaurant! He was also concerned that we would never return....are you crazy? This restaurant had the best Italian food, and not to mention wine. Thank you Dal Zotto you are a 10* restaurant and winery. We live in QLD so will now buy your fantastic wines via the internet. Thank you Pauline Cannon...
