This place is truly a hidden gem. If youâre looking for a place for great food and wine, this is the place. Though it is called âRedwood Winesâ, itâs not a typical wine store â itâs more an excellent cafĂ© with carefully curated wine offerings. The chef-owner knows his wines (he comes from a family of vintners) and his menu is wonderfully refreshing and stands out from dishes commonly found elsewhere. We came in for lunch and left mighty full and well libated. We had the duck liver pate, focaccia, and anchovies, followed by an American style stacked roast beef sandwich that had a marvelous tarragon aioli as well as a beet salad. We ended our visit with a light tres leches cake and full-bodied coffee. Redwood Wines is a small cafĂ©/shop manned by the owner, but it has big offerings for any appetite. The place is bright and airy with a welcoming ambiance that would make you want to return. I know we do. Next time for dinner. I can't wait. Parking, however, is challenging. Street parking is very limited, but there is a parking lot about a block or two from the shop â still, it may be difficult to find a spot because the village is a draw for...

You canât believe
The day I went to the redwood
He traveled for a golf experience near Dunkeld and stopped here to buy these bottles of wine
I was cooking for them as private chef đ©âđł and I heard Dunkeld and redwood and that the Owner of the shop are very nice people
So I realised that we both went to same location that day without knowing each other yet
What amazing coincidence
Ps
These 2 bottles of wine were bought at ÂŁ78 each
But
In the shop youâll find any range of prices from 7 or ÂŁ9 per bottles

   Read moreStumbled across this gem of a place and it didnât disappoint. The owner was a lovely guy (expert in his knowledge of extensive wine displayed) who made us feel extremely welcome on arrival. We were a little dubious when he advised âno menu as suchâ but we were curious and the aroma as he cooked assured us we were in for a treat.
The sharing plates were very generous portions - we ordered ciabatta along with sirloin beef (with greens) and sliced duck (with peas/beans). It was absolutely cooked to perfection and of the very best quality. Our pairing wine was delicious (tad expensive at ÂŁ54 per bottle) but was a fabulous choice. Even the ice cream dessert was delicious.
There was numerous visits from locals/visitors popping in for bottles of wine (co op is across the street) which surprised me when the cheapest bottle I saw on display was around ÂŁ19. The owner spent time sharing his knowledge and offering recommendations to each of them which is probably why they buy their wine from him.
We left with a promise that we will return on a future visit and recommend to...
