Why we’d go The setting makes dinner feel like part of the Jackalope stay, and the operator currently offers a seasonal multi-course Signature Dining Experience. Doot Doot Doot is the signature dining room at Jackalope in Merricks North. Jackalope currently describes its Signature Dining Experience as a seasonal multi-course menu curated by Group Executive Chef Michael Wickham. The restaurant is a special-occasion choice for visitors staying in the wine country; check the current menu, service dates and dietary arrangements with Jackalope before booking. Correction, 3 October 2026: an earlier version attributed the current kitchen and menu to Michael Demagistris. Jackalope now credits Michael Wickham, so we removed that attribution and unverified dish and award claims.
