New complex to showcase the King Valley

Adam Pizzini, one of the most exciting young Chefs in the North East together with Dal Zotto Estate Wines, has launched an exciting new concept in dining in the King Valley wine region - Rinaldo's of The King Valley.

Right alongside Dal Zotto's new cellar door in the heart of Whitfield, Rinaldo's is a celebration of the wonderful bounty of flavours the King Valley has to offer. The best of the local produce will be sourced to compliment the finest wines from the King Valley region.

The authentic King Valley experience doesn't stop there - the restaurant is an exciting conversion of an original tobacco shed whilst the historic Whitfield Police station building now serves as Dal Zotto's relocated cellar door.

Drawing on his Italian heritage and experience working in both Sydney and Brisbane, Adam has developed seasonal lunch and dinner menus carefully matched to an extensive list of local wines. His hand-picked team of experienced and innovative chefs and waiting staff are committed to a unique dining experience.

Rinaldo's will also act as an art gallery of bold interpretive paintings. The current pieces were painted by renowned Benalla artist, Tony Flint. (Click photo to enlarge)

Of course the local folk who remember Adam's great cooking at the Mountainview Hotel a few years ago are sure to become regular patrons of Rinaldo's nestled in the foothills of the King Valley at Whitfield.

Guests can also enjoy special functions, events, and of course, traditional Italian hospitality. The restaurant can cater to 60 people inside and 30 in the outside garden section. Call (03) 57 298 000 and make a reservation
