Bells at Killcare was recently named as one of the top Hotels in NSW by Gourmet Traveller Magazine in their 2025 Hotel Guide, part of the Gourmet Traveller Hotel and Travel Award Showcase. Also in 2025, Australian Traveller Magazine listed Bells at Killcare in their Top 9 Luxury Getaways in NSW.
The Wild Flower Bar & Dining is chic, casual dining inspired by the food of the sun, from the Mediterranean to Morocco. Food for the well-travelled, with a little table-side theatre and fun.
Menus are grounded in our core values of authenticity, simplicity and freshness, featuring seasonal dishes inspired by the produce grown and harvested in our famous kitchen gardens. In addition to this estate-grown produce, menus showcase as many local NSW producers, suppliers, winemakers and growers as possible. Locally harvested seafood includes freshly shucked oysters and crayfish caught off nearby Macmasters Beach. Because we use produce from our garden and locally supplied produce, our menus are subject to change. They are based on the seasons and the changes that may occur due to weather.
Our kitchen gardens, some 500 square metres in total, includes an orchard, olive trees, avocado tree, honey bee-hives and free range hens. The garden supplies the restaurant with more than 15% of the produce on the menu, ensuring sustainable practices across the entire operation.
The restaurants excellent wine list has been named “Best Regional Wine List” several times over, for its impressive cellar and collection of both local and international, particularly Italian, wines.
Looking for a venue for your Christmas party, birthday, christening or any special life celebration, look no further. Gatherings at Bells at Killcare will truly elevate your special event.

Learn MoreWith more than 300 wines on the list and numerous awards, our Cellar is an experience of tastes and history.
I was born in Wangaratta; surrounded by North Eastern Victorian Wine Country. My father was the licensee for a bottle shop and one of my first jobs was working under age in that store. So at the tender age of fifteen my cellar started; there is a few of those 1960’s vintages still in there. We sold and drank Gold Medal winning Muscat and Tokay in flagons. Sales of Brown Brothers of Milawa slowed due to a significant price rise at the time, moving from $0.60c to $0.90c a bottle.
During this period I also helped a mate’s Dad maintain a rural property for a Mr. Alan Watson. In season we would steal grapes from the adjoining property, Bailey Brothers of Glenrowan. I met Alan years later at his wine bar in Carlton where it turned out he was the son of Jimmy Watson. And of course today, I prefer the fruit from Bailey’s 1904 block fully fermented. After a very educational but academically disastrous stint at La Trobe University I had to escape the wrath of my father. I found myself picking tobacco in the King Valley for an Italian family; Fred Pizzini ran the family owned hotel in Whitfield. I saw a lot of Fred in those days; we still catch up and vaguely recall drinking his Father’s homemade grappa. Eventually I started working at Brown Brothers Cellar Door under the tutorage of Tom Seabrook. Tom came from a Wine Merchant family and his generosity of knowledge was inspirational. My time there lead to a role in sales and marketing for Brown Brothers opening markets in NSW and Queensland.
Whilst Sydney based, trips to the Hunter Valley started my fascination with aged Semillon and Shiraz. My father’s attitude towards me improved but he really started to like my Wangaratta based cellar. And so my cellar’s journey began, Sydney, Brisbane, Darwin, Sydney, Hunter Valley and now Killcare. As did my wine travels start, with memorable visits to Rothschild, Palmer, Latour, Petrus, Yquem, Taittenger and more. The wine industry has afforded me a lot of fun and cellar acquisitions. It was Len Evans who said that he never drank great wine by himself and that the real joy of great wine was in the sharing.
Like all good cellars mine remains a work in progress and so there is plenty there and I hope you enjoy the sharing.
