Il Vigneto Pizzeria serves authentic woodfired pizza and house-made pasta from a purpose-built venue within the Rochford Wines estate in the Yarra Valley. The name means the vineyard, and the restaurant sits among Rochford's Pinot Noir plantings, with a contemporary building and spacious decking opening onto the vineyard lake.
Floor to ceiling glass walls and a deck extending over the water make the most of the setting. A fully retractable roof opens the space up in warmer months, and a purpose-built stage hosts live music on weekends through the Rochford Music Lounge, where guests pair woodfired pizza and pasta with Yarra Valley wine and high-energy tribute performances.
The kitchen keeps true to Neapolitan recipes and traditional woodfired ovens, using fresh Yarra Valley produce. The menu covers gourmet pizza and pasta alongside Rochford wines, beer and non-alcoholic drinks.
Il Vigneto is a relaxed, casual dining experience the whole family can enjoy. It is pet friendly and sits close to the expansive Rochford lawn. A secluded galleria hosts exclusive parties and functions, and the expansive space suits larger gatherings such as christenings and birthdays. Takeaway is also available for guests who would rather enjoy the flavours at home.
