Moorooduc Estate Winery and Jill’s Restaurant are businesses that complement and support each other. The new building was envisaged by the owners as an active architectural support for their businesses and their passion for creating and serving premium food and wines in a convivial and unique setting. Like the food and the wine, the architecture should be memorable and an enthusiastic feature of ongoing recommendations.
The new building, which has a prominent tower seen over the vineyards on approach, is constructed in rammed earth and radially sawn timber with honed concrete floors and creates a sheltered courtyard with the original rammed earth winery built in the 1980’s.
The restaurant with its undulating ceilings, shaded arbours and broad terraces overlooks extraordinary views across the vineyard - from the YouYangs in the West, Mt Macedon to the North and the Dandenongs in the East.
