Ten Minutes by Tractor

With cosy fires in winter and sun-dappled vines in summer, Ten Minutes by Tractor is an evergreen destination restaurant. A smart dining room features polished timbers, dark walls and broad windows framing trim lawns and rolling hills. The concise menu emphasises top-notch produce such as Koo Wee Rup asparagus with local goat’s cheese and brilliant red strawberries. Juicy duck breast is served with classic accompaniments in novel forms – puréed cherry, bitter chocolate jelly and a pepperberry sauce – while Otway Ranges pork loin plays nicely with a medley of pea, jammy apricot and crumbed almond. The wine list groans with detailed descriptions of Ten Minutes’ own vintages and many fine French drops. Wine matches are suggested for every dish, including fruity desserts such as the passionfruit gratin clad in brûléed toffee and teamed with raspberry ripple ice-cream and banana jelly.
