This long weekend, discover something truly special at Amarti Wedding Venue, set in the beautifully restored Cowwarr Butter Factory.

With its unique character, warm atmosphere, and traditional Mediterranean-style menu made with quality local Gippsland produce, Amarti offers a dining experience that feels memorable from the moment you arrive.

Enjoy house-made favourites like gnocchi, lasagna, schnitzel, soups, gorgeous share platters and Zia Lucy’s Stuffed Eggplant. But more than anything…we highly recommend the traditional house made tiramisu or scones to finish your meal on a sweet note.

Whether you’re planning a romantic lunch, a family get together, or a scenic drive with friends for a coffee catch-up, Amarti is the perfect place to slow down and savour the moment.

Make this long weekend in The Middle of Everywhere one to remember at Amarti.

Saturday and Sunday from 10:30am.
