Naturellement is not your average wine and drinks festival. We celebrate the unusual, the wickedly different, the beautifully crafted, and the artisan. This event is all about regionality and championing local and smaller-scale producers, all on Darkinjung land.

Curated by wine guru Mike Bennie and food czar Kristy Austin, Naturellement is a celebration of all things extraordinary in the world of food and drink.

Good Gathering, is a series of community-focused dining events that prioritise connections and storytelling over profit. 

 

These communal dinners are  held in homes and community halls and bring guests together with creatives and makers and local producers.

 

Each Good Gathering features a specially-curated seasonal menu laden with fresh, locally-sourced produce. And each event will invite special guests with fascinating stories to tell over a shared meal. 

You may arrive as strangers but will leave as friends.
