An opportunity to take over the kitchen lease at Quartz Cuisine at Cofield, within an award-winning winery in Rutherglen--ideal for a chef or operator seeking full creative control, an established customer base, strong tourism, and winery support.

We’ve come to a realisation.

We’re very good at wine. We live and breathe it.

Food? We love eating it—but we’d rather leave the kitchen to someone who truly owns it.

So instead of hiring another Head Chef, we’re doing something different.

We’re offering the lease of our kitchen at Quartz, located within our award-winning winery in the beautiful Rutherglen wine region — a destination that’s seriously hot right now, with visitation booming and more people discovering the region than ever before.

This is an opportunity for a chef or operator ready to step into their own space—without starting from scratch.

  • Build your own concept, menu, and identity
  • Tap into an established cellar door and growing tourism audience
  • Predominantly daytime trade
  • Work alongside a winery team that will support and promote you (not run your kitchen)
  • Surrounded by incredible local producers

Think of it as a partnership—where you bring the food, and we bring the wine, the customers, and the platform.

If you’re feeling capped where you are, or you’ve been waiting for the right moment to back yourself, this could be it.
