Visit Murrumbateman - Dinner at Shaw Estate
When you’re planning your next visit to Murrumbateman, a region already known for its award-winning cool climate wines and gourmet experiences, dinner at the newly renovated Shaw Estate is an experience not to be missed. Just a short drive from Canberra, Shaw Estate has redefined dining in our region, offering a blend of elegant design, exceptional food, and premium estate wines (you can select from both the Shaw Estate range and a selection of local wines). We love our local region wines and enjoyed a bottle Shaw Shiraz with our dinner. It's hard to go past a Murrumabteman shiraz, the style of wine that highlights why Murrumbateman has become one of Australia’s most celebrated cool climate wine regions.
We recently enjoyed a beautiful dinner at Shaw Estate, having been wanting to visit for quite a while now!
What we ate:
We began with zucchini flowers, with a pumpkin cream, which were delicious, crisp and delicate. The menu is designed for sharing and our selection of linguine, chicken milanese and a side of the most delicious cabbage with celery, walnut and date was perfect for two. The service and atmosphere were great. Foodies will enjoy seeing the (organised) buzz from the huge, newly built open kitchen.
I can't go past a burnt basque cheesecake and the Shaw Estate version, served with a berry compote, was definitely enough to share between two.
Why Shaw Estate is a Must-Visit
