Highlights

The Poacher's Pantry

Located on a farm in the beautiful countryside around Hall, 25 minutes’ drive from Canberra, the Poacher’s Pantry is home to a cafe-restaurant, a winery and smokehouse producing an array of gourmet smoked meats. The Poacher's Pantry is just one of the many delights along the Poacher's Way.


Tasting the best on the Poacher's Way

Gourmands have been enjoying the fine food and wine along the Poachers Way for some time. This meandering trail is based around the towns of Gundaroo, Hall, Yass and Murrumbateman near Canberra. It takes you through some of the prettiest country in NSW including the cool-climate wine growing region around Canberra known as the Canberra wine district.

With a little planning, you're guaranteed to find somewhere beautiful to stay at night, great dining and some delicious activities. Wander through a country art galley or colourful garden, have a soothing spa, stock up on smoked meats and other produce - you'll feel relaxed at the end of each day's drive.

You'll be able to meet the dedicated local producers over a pizza and wine tasting. At The Poachers Pantry where it all stared you can dine on Smokehouse platters featuring smoked meats, marinated vegetables, dips and breads, or smoked sea fare and a cheese platter.
