RidgeView showcases a modern Italian menu with a seasonal focus on fresh and local produce. Utilising native ingredients and estate grown organic produces from the kitchen garden, we have developed a menu which brings the unique flavours of our region to the table. Whether it's a relaxed long lunch overlooking the vineyards or an intimate dinner you will leave with a lasting impression. Located just fifteen minutes north of the Hunter Valley gardens, RidgeView offers a relaxed alfresco experience in the heart of the valley.
Set under soaring ceilings with fans languidly circling above, the restaurant and its adjoining terraces are the venues for a relaxed, yet refined a la carte dining experience. Start with drinks by the fireplace in the adjoining lounge or by the courtyard fountain on a balmy summer evening. Guests as well as visitors can enjoy lunch and dinner seven days at Tower Lodge. Drawing fresh local produce from a community of local Hunter Valley producers and growers, as well as from the Hope family’s own Angus cattle farms in the lush green pastures of the Upper Hunter, the menu is a culinary experience of the region best shared with a loved one, or with family and friends around the table.Within view - or easy walking distance - is the kitchen garden where the kitchen and gardening teams tend to a growing section of edibles including herbs greens and native ingredients. Just across the way is a pasture home to the Hope’s own very local Angus cattle.
Buffet breakfast daily is bright, fun and entertaining – a meeting place for family, good mates and colleagues. All the usual fare with espresso coffee available offers arguably the best value proposition in the region. Bistro lunch is casual – burgers, sangas and salads. Kids are looked after too. The Bar features live entertainment on the weekend best enjoyed with a cold beverage and the warm sun on your back. Casual dining and a social bar where Golf members, Resort guests and Shire locals celebrate long afternoons simply enjoying time with family and good friends.
