the agrarian experience

The Agrarian Experience is a celebration of the seasons. The day begins with guests donning gumboots and foraging in the garden for the ripest fruit and vegetables, other ingredients are sourced from local farmers and producers. Once harvesting is complete we continue in the kitchen preparing and cooking together a seasonal feast. Central to the experience is the Alan Scott-designed wood-fired oven. The day will culminate with lunch including premium Tasmanian wines and artisanal ales.

Depending on the season, guests will have the opportunity to milk our British Alpine goat, Pretty Girl and other local ingredients may include wild mushrooms, wagyu beef, black truffles, rock lobster, abalone, lamb and wild trout.
