Wily Trout Vineyard / Poachers Pantry
Our small family business, started over 25 years ago, has been built around our love of good food and sharing with family and friends.
From simple beginnings as an artisan smokehouse, we have grown to include the Wily Trout Vineyard, Smokehouse Restaurant, farm shop, cellar door, country wedding and event destination.
Our Wines
The Wily Trout Vineyard straddles the north east facing slopes of the granite hills that lie in the heart of the Murrumbateman and Canberra Wine Region. It is renowned for its soft, peppery shiraz and elegant aromatic white varieties. Now in the hands of the second generation, Will Bruce.
Our Cellar Door
Our cellar door is located in the Smokehouse Restaurant. Come by and try a selection which can be matched to our artisan range of smoked meats. If you like, stay for a meal and enjoy the stunning combination of our wines, our smoked meats and our countryside – the complete regional food experience.
The Food
The Smokehouse Restaurant is all about the meats we cure and smoke and the wines that come from our vineyard that grow on the hills that surround the restaurant. We use organic ingredients from our own kitchen garden; the herbs and vegetables are picked fresh every morning and delivered straight to the kitchen. Our menu is constantly changing so that we can use local ingredients that are at their best.
The Pantry
We are one of the finest smokehouses in Australia with our products regularly winning medals at the Royal Fine Food Shows including trophies for the most highly scoring product in class. Our products are prepared using traditional hand-crafted techniques by a team dedicated to make exceptional quality products with craftsman like care. We share your passion for quality ingredients so that you can make dishes that look wonderful and taste terrific.
