Features
Ten Minutes by Tractor is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s top fine diners. Owners Karen and Martin Spedding noticed demand for a casual alternative to their refined set-menu, so they repurposed their cellar door into Allis, an all-day wine bar with a low-waste ethos.
The wine list is composed of current-and back-vintage Ten Minutes bottles, plus a few international options from producers like Robert Weil and Pierrick Laroche.
There’s the option to pair each flight with thoughtful small plates, making use of Ten Minutes' offcuts and produce from the on-site garden. Carrots are harvested daily when in season. They’re roasted with fennel and served on crumpets along with horseradish liquorice and brown-butter hazelnuts. Turnips are fermented and used across the menu in dishes like charred kangaroo carpaccio with crispy capers and horseradish. Even the oil that accompanies the Jetty Road-beer-and-buttermilk bread is house-made, using olives grown in the estate’s Judd Vineyard.
The Speddings named Allis after the burnt orange Allis-Chalmers farm tractors, and interiors blend this signature shade with charcoal walls and honey-hued timber tables. Cathedral ceilings and tall windows create an expansive feel in the otherwise cosy venue.
