Known for its bold flavours, vibrant atmosphere and ever-evolving menu, Turbine features an all-new tapas-style offering that’s already turning heads — and filling tables.
Heading up the kitchen is chef Sam Wills, whose creative flair and commitment to local produce shine through in every dish.
The new tapas menu is a celebration of Sam’s upbringing and the region’s finest ingredients.
Designed for grazing and sharing, each plate brings something fresh and memorable to the table.
From warm, freshly baked flatbreads to perfectly seared scallops and house-pickled vegetables, there’s something to tempt every palate.
One local highlight is the salami, sourced from family-run producer The Meat Room, which operates just outside of Kilmore.
Its handcrafted smallgoods are a standout on the menu, featured in several dishes that showcase their rich, smoky depth.
It’s just one example of Turbine’s commitment to working with local suppliers who share the same values: quality, sustainability and flavour above all else.
“We’re really proud of producers like The Meat Room,” Mr Wills said.
“Their salami is made with such care and it elevates the entire dish.
“When you pair it with a beautiful local Pinot noir, it just sings.”
Local wines and local food fill Turbine’s menu, making for a delicious, curated selection of culinary goodness.
If you’re not sure where to start, Turbine’s Let Us Feed You experience takes the guesswork out of ordering.
For $85 per person, diners are guided through a chef’s selection of items on the menu — the ultimate way to taste it all and a fantastic option for those looking to settle in and savour the full journey.
Think of it as a culinary tour, curated by the team that knows the menu best.
Food and beverage manager Chris Pitt said, beyond the food, it was the atmosphere that made Turbine special.
“Turbine has this amazing energy — warm, buzzing and made for sharing good food with good people,” Mr Pitt said.
The wine list champions local vineyards and the cocktail list is tight, punchy and refreshingly creative — just like the menu itself.
The space sits downstairs at Trawool, easily accessed from the front or back of the property.
Happy hour is on at the bar from 4pm every Friday and Saturday, so whether you’re popping in for a pre-dinner cocktail and a couple of plates, or settling in for the full Let Us Feed You experience, Turbine invites you to take your time, share a meal with a loved one and discover something new.
