Join us at Spicers Hidden Vale for a gourmet paddock-to-plate food celebration at our retreat just over an hour from Brisbane. Gather your friends and enjoy our warm country hospitality – toasty braziers, snug blankets and cozy chairs in the crisp winter air – and indulge in our chef-hatted dining experience celebrating local produce and wines.
Delight in a gourmet paddock-to-plate lunch feast created by Spicers Hidden Vale Chefs to showcase food and wines from local producers and Hidden Vale’s own market garden, orchard, and beehives.
At this event we are partnering with Outback Futures as we celebrate our Queensland farmers and producers, we’ll also take a look over the back fence into outback Queensland and the mental health crisis gripping young people, families and communities. You will have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to Outback Futures and long term, intergenerational change in mental health and wellbeing outcomes for outback Queenslanders.
Price for the event is $180 per person including 5 food station courses plus 5 drinks.
On the day enjoy:
- Chatting with Chefs, and the Spicers food and wine team about the menu, ingredients from local producers, and their favourite wine pairings as they serve you.
- Breathe in the fresh country air as you wander through the lunch serving tables nestled among Hidden Vale’s market garden, barn, smoke house and historical cottages.
- Get caught up in the excitement of an outback auction…but you’ll have to be quick to understand our auctioneer’s lingo and snap up something special!
- Hear stories from the Outback Futures team who work with outback Queensland children, families and communities.
