Welcome to a weekend of culinary delights, where we invite you to savour the very essence of Autumn in the beautiful Snowy Mountains. Our Savour weekend is a celebration of the rich tapestry of seasonal, locally sourced produce that graces this picturesque corner of Australia.
From the earthy aromas of freshly harvested ingredients to the vibrant colors of autumn foliage, this weekend is a sensory journey through all things Autumn.
Prepare to embark on a foodie adventure as we curate a menu of experiences that capture the heart and soul of this season. From food masterclasses that reveal the secrets of culinary experts to exclusive chef dinners that transform ingredients into art, every moment promises to be a feast for your senses.
Our market day is a vibrant tapestry of flavours, where you can taste, touch, and take home the very best of regional produce and homemade wares. While you explore, sip on a glass of cool climate wine, the perfect accompaniment to the crisp Autumn air.
But it’s not just about the food; it’s about the atmosphere. Join us by the water’s edge, where musicians will be entertaining the crowd. Stroll through the market stalls, their offerings tantalising your taste buds and inspiring your culinary adventures.
As the day turns to night, the festivities continue. Our Friday night cocktail evening and Saturday night’s dinner event are set to be crowd-pleasers, bringing together a fusion of flavours and talents for a delightful night. Wrapping up the weekend’s festivities is our Sunday Lakeside Grazing Picnic as the finale to our food & wine weekend.
Let’s celebrate the flavours, the experiences, and the memories that make this season in the Snowy Mountains truly special.
