    Wonderful experience, we will definitely be back there soon. Food was excellent and each dish was thoughtful prepared and presented. Great host (Teddy) and Chef made for a great night. Our first time to this venue - If you are after great food and personable service with fresh produce , you need reward yourself and book lunch or dinner. Great work Ted.

    We visited for a Friday lunch and had the most enjoyable afternoon. The service was extremely friendly, laid back but professional. We chose the grazing menu and enjoyed every course. Both of us are coeliac, and some places can make you feel like a real pain, but Wayward were fantastic.

    Winery dining room was aesthetically beautiful, modern interiors with scandi vibe. We were welcomed by Teddy who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was exceptional, roasted cauliflower was a hit as was the roast pork belly and slow cooked beef short ribs. Great views of the vineyard, the canola fields and the windmills. We will be back !
