Wardens Food & Wine

Opened it’s doors in October 2004 inside Beechworth's old ‘Wardens Hotel’. Simplicity is the key with emphasis on friendly and knowledgeable service, Wardens' Italian menu is created from the best of local produce and selected ingredients. A carefully chosen wine list will enable you to taste some of the great drops this region has to offer, as well as many great Australian and International wines.

Wednesday nights at Wardens is BYO night, but of course you can still choose from their extensive wine list of Australian and international wines which can be purchased to enjoy with your meal or taken home.
