There aren’t many opportunities to taste Australia’s best w**es all in one room.

Just days after the International Cool Climate W**e Show judging wraps up, we’ll be pouring around 30 w**es from some of the country’s leading cool climate producers. Some will be medal winners, some will be the w**es everyone will be talking about next.

No w**e knowledge required. Just bring your curiosity (and maybe a friend who loves a good drop).

We’ll take care of the rest with chef-made canapés, grazing food and an afternoon that’s all about discovering something new at your own pace.

These events don’t come around often, and once tickets are gone, they’re gone.🍷🥂

Book now via the link in our bio or on our website.

10 Million Reasons to Say Thank You...

When we first opened The Kitchen, our goal wasn't to chase numbers.
It was simply to create a place that felt like home, where people could enjoy great food, great service and great value – without the great fuss.

Today we discovered that The Kitchen has officially reached 10,000,000 views on Google.

Ten million times someone has searched for us, browsed our photos, checked out our menu, looked up our opening hours, planned a visit, or decided where to catch up over a coffee or a meal.

For a little local café on the Mornington Peninsula, that's a milestone we're incredibly proud of.

But the number itself isn't really what we're celebrating.

We're celebrating the people behind it.
The families who have made us part of their weekend routine.
The tradies grabbing breakfast before work.
The friends catching up over coffee.
The birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, first dates, latest dates, business meetings, Sunday breakfasts, takeaway coffees and everything in between.

Every visit, every review, every recommendation and every photo you've shared has helped tell our story.

So, thank you.

From all of us at The Kitchen, thank you for being such an important part of our journey.

Now we'd love to hear your story...
Do you remember your very first visit to The Kitchen?
How long ago was it? What brought you through our doors?

And confession time... be honest... how many of those 10 million views were you?

Here's to the next ten million. ❤️

— Much love as always,
Bob & The Kitchen Team

P.S. If you've got a favourite photo you've taken at The Kitchen over the years, we'd love to see it in the comments.

Next Friday, we’re welcoming Genista W**es to The Kitchen for a one-night-only W**emaker’s Dinner, and if you’ve been thinking about coming, now’s the time to lock in your tickets.

This isn’t your average dinner out. It’s an intimate evening of five incredible courses, six beautifully matched w**es and the chance to hear the stories behind every bottle from the people who make them.

There’s something pretty special about sitting down with a w**emaker, learning what goes into each vintage and sharing a great meal with people who simply love good food and w**e.

Whether you’re a w**e enthusiast or just looking for a memorable night out on the Mornington Peninsula, this is the perfect excuse to gather a few friends and do something a little different.

Tickets are limited and we’re getting close, so don’t leave it until the last minute.

See you at the table.

Good w**e always starts with good people.

For our upcoming Genista W**es W**emaker’s Night, we’re lucky to be joined by Natalie from Mornington W**e Co. — the person behind many of the bottles you’ve enjoyed at The Kitchen and the connection that brought this special evening together.

Natalie has spent her time building relationships with incredible producers, and on Friday 31 July she’ll help welcome Lloyd Broom and Sarah Gregory of Genista W**es for an intimate night of stories, seasonal food and exceptional w**e.

Five courses. Six w**es. One unforgettable evening.

Limited seats remain. So check out our link the bio or our website.
