Given the soil on which Doot Doot Doot stands, the partnership between food and wine is always central. A focus on purity of flavour and balance produces a dining presentation, elevating both food and wine. The wine list spans a unique selection of limited-release, single vineyard wines, curated from some of the world’s premier small-batch producers. Rarity is luxury.

When my culinary career inevitably began, it was the experience in Michelin starred restaurants – notably Sketch by Chef Pierre Gagnaire, and Hide by Chef Ollie Dabbous – that shaped me into the chef I dreamt of being.

Since joining Jackalope Hotels in 2019, I’ve grown a real passion for working with locally-sourced seasonal produce. The vast amount of native and local ingredients that Australia has on offer consistently amazes me – it truly is a chef’s playground.

Flaggerdoot is an infusion of forms; classic herringbone floors and open fires warm the room, while edgy installations and a one-off electric blue pool table create a sense of curated-cool.
All of this lies unsuspectingly within the walls of the majestic Edwardian McCormick House (est. 1876), a purposeful juxtaposition that serves as an enduring reminder of the history of the picturesque property. 

home is where the hare is

Rare Hare is a special sort of place, defined by aspect, soil, and toil. Here, wines whisper a vinous vernacular, telling tales of seasons past and the winemaking cast.

Located within LL Vineyard, the food and wine store invites you to savour the fruits of their labour, within view of the vines on which they were born. Celebrating the region’s winemaking roots, we serve up modern Australian produce with a communal, share-style approachability. Cooking with a good sense of curiosity, we bring a tempting balance of heat, acidity, depth of flavour and texture to each plate.

This is a place to ensconce in, not just see – where crafted curiosities from surrounding farms are best consumed excessively and between robust repartee.

A hand-crafted wood-fired oven takes pride of place in the dining space, adding character to the mood and food. With room for 90 tails, take your pick from our indoor and outdoor areas, both overlooking the vine-laced hills and across to the Hotel’s striking silhouette.

Panorama Dining Room

Rare Hare’s Panorama Dining Room offers 270-degree views of LL Vineyard’s vine-laced hills and across to Jackalope Hotel’s striking silhouette. With room for 90 tails, a hand-crafted wood-fired oven takes pride of place in the dining space. Our Group Executive Chef crafts seasonal dishes highlighting the finest produce with a good sense of curiosity, balance of heat, acidity, depth of flavour and texture to each plate, all complemented by estate-made wines.
