We booked The Shed restaurant for Saturday lunch. Would recommend the octopus and lamb ribs as share plates with the potatoes and greens. All were very tasty and definitely enough for 2 to share. We had the sparkling and Pinot Gris which are both lovely refreshing wines. It was a bit warm inside the restaurant as the plastic sides were all down and there were no fans on inside. The outside temp was around 21degrees and it would have been nice if the sides were up just a bit to get some air inside. Other than that, this is a great location looking over the Derwent River and the vineyard all around. Great spot and great food

This a relatively new addition to Derwent Estate and impresses as a modern restaurant serving imaginative food in a very pleasant setting. The menu is modern and focusses on Tasmania's local produce and represents an impressive mix of small, shared and large plates. I had the BBQ Chicken breast, with barley, potato and leek sauce, pickled mushrooms and crisp vine leaf. This tasted superb and was beautifully presented. Derwent Estate wines are generally outstanding, and it was an added bonus to have their top wines accessible by the glass at very reasonable prices. The atmosphere was very conducive to a late-year business lunch, the staff were right on top of their game and it all culminated in a really enjoyable, relaxing and unhasseled three-hour lunch. Would I come back? You betcha!!

Derwent Estate was the first stop on our wine tour and set the bar impossibly high for the rest of the tour! Edie was welcoming, engaging and knowledgeable without being pretentious, so we felt really comfortable and had a few laughs as she guided us through the tasting. The grounds were absolutely stunning, and the food didn't disappoint (try the pate... it will change your life!!). Onto the wines... as a pretty dedicated pinot grigio drinker not only did I discover the BEST pinot gris I've ever tasted, we had our eyes opened to a number of other varietals that will be on the rotation from now on. Recommend the vintage sparkling, the 2021 resiling and pinot gris. By far the most charming cellar door and delicious wine we experienced on our trip to Tasmania.
