Rare Hare

at Jackalope Hotel Mornington Peninsula

Mornington Peninsula • Australia

Overview

Rare Hare is a special sort of place, defined by aspect, soil, and toil. Here, wines whisper a vinous vernacular, telling tales of seasons past and the winemaking cast. In this world, no vineyard, vintage, or wine is the same and every moment of enjoyment differs too – shaped by the bottle, milieu, food, or mood. With room for 90 diners, Rare Hare boasts indoor and outdoor dining overlooking the vine-laced hills and across to Jackalope Hotel’s striking silhouette. A hand-crafted wood-fired oven takes pride of place in the dining space. The award-winning menu showcases seasonal dishes that highlight the finest produce, bringing a tempting balance of heat, acidity, depth of flavor, and texture to each plate.
