About the restaurant
Locale overlooks the slopes of the De Bortoli vineyard in the Yarra Valley and showcases all the culinary delights their Italian heritage has to offer. Emeri De Bortoli is the heart and soul of the Yarra Valley Estate restaurant Locale. Her vision of a northern Italian-inspired trattoria with skillfully cooked, authentically Italian dishes made with fresh local produce continues to define what they do. It's all about the De Bortoli family philosophy of sharing good food and wine with family and friends. Home made pasta and authentically cooked risotto are menu constants while the sauces and ingredients that go with them change depending on the time of year. Bookings are essential.
