Lovedale Smokehouse Cafe, Charcuterie & Majors Lane Cooking School

Nestled within a 100-acre vineyard, this family and pet-friendly café offers a relaxed atmosphere. The menu features food truck-inspired dishes, including house-made smoked produce like charcuterie and low and slow barbecue. Enjoy a variety of craft beers, ciders, wines, coffee, and soft drinks. Dine indoors, in the covered courtyard, or opt for takeaway to picnic on the vineyard. The deli showcases a range of house-made charcuterie, such as smoked chicken, duck, salmon, trout, sausages, ham, bacon, cheese, mussels, olives, terrines, jerky, and pâtés, along with house-made relishes and sauces. A curated selection of artisanal local, Australian, and international produce, including salami, cured meats, sauces, relishes, jams, and crackers, is also available. Cooking classes, including Thai Street Food, Greek, and Low and Slow Smoking, are offered, each featuring a two-hour class with lunch, a souvenir apron, a glass of wine or beer, and a recipe booklet. Individual and group bookings are welcome, with private classes and gift certificates available. The café operates Thursday to Monday, 10:30 am to 3:00 pm, with the kitchen closing at 2:30 pm. It is open all of Easter and closed on Anzac Day.
