Experience the ultimate Farm to Fork (and glass) adventure!

 

Join us on an immersive farm tour of Kandanga Farm, the Mary Valley’s only certified organic beef property and proud home of K2 Beef. Farmer Tim will guide you through the intricacies of organic beef cattle farming, shedding light on the day-to-day operations in an area where organic livestock production was once deemed impossible. Gain a profound appreciation for the dedication and hard work that goes into bringing quality food to your table.

Whether you are a conscious consumer, a budding cattle producer or are interested in reducing chemical use in your operation (and maybe even getting organically certified!) there will something for every level on this tour.

Talk about animal selection, animal behaviour, mirroring nature’s patterns, parasite control, pasture management, regeneration, weeds, carbon and more.

 

 

After the farm tour, journey back to the Kandanga Farm Store to meet local Vigneron Damian from Windrush Estate. Discover Damian’s passion project of cultivating Tempranillo grapes in the Mary Valley and witness firsthand how these grapes transform into exquisite wine. Indulge in a complimentary glass of Damian’s 2021 vintage Tempranillo while unravelling the artistry and science behind winemaking.

With no background in agriculture, Damien has taken a leap of faith into vineyard design and management. He has had to learn all aspects from vine to bottle. Who knew that there is an art to choosing the right glass for a wine bottle?!  Damien’s good natured and humorous tales are sure to engage and entertain you.

 

 

 

And it keeps getting better! Renowned Chef Matt Golinski will tantalize your taste buds with a series of delectable tapas creations, showcasing the finest local produce including K2 Beef and Windrush Tempranillo. Prepare for a culinary journey like no other, where every bite tells a story of the region’s rich flavours and traditions.
