Milawa Cheese Company

We missed the Milawa Cheese Company on our first visit to the Gourmet region of Victoria so headed out one rainy Sunday to meet with friends and enjoy lunch in the Restaurant.

Signs on Factory Road (about 2 kilometres from the mains street of town) direct you to a lane running along the side of this establishment to a car parking area. Out the back of the restaurant is a large covered eating area covered by a beautiful grape vine which was starting to change colour for Autumn.

We had booked a table inside as it was a bit cool and ate lunch before heading to the cheese tasting section to purchase goodies to take on our trip. I ordered Bruschetta for lunch (only an entre because I wanted room for cheese) and my partner had one of their pizzas - lovely food, great service.

Located on the grounds of this Cheese outlet you will also find a bakery, gift shop, art gallery and cellar door - plus, of course, a display of local cheese. You can buy cheese platters form the counter or restaurant to enjoy with a bottle of wine.  We particularly liked the cheddar cheese.
