Feast in the Forest, The Safari Club, Leeuwin Estate

Who knew? Within the magnificent grounds of Leeuwin Estate lies a secret haven hidden from all but special guests.

Join renowned Canadian chef and heatseeker Roger Mooking (host of Food Network’s “Man Fire Food”) at The Safari Club, a rustic barn surrounded by pristine Marri and Jarrah forest.

It’s a magical spot for our bunch of prestigious chefs to do what they do best – celebrate wood, flame, smoke and cooking the way it’s been done for centuries.

This year’s meat-mad maestros include Argentinian-inspired rockabillies Elvis Abrahanowicz and Ben Milgate (Porteno, Sydney), Canadian hunter-gatherer Michael Hunter (Antler Kitchen & Bar, Canada) and award-winning Adelaide forager Duncan Welgemoed, known for his contemporary South African style. (Africola, Adelaide).

Long, communal tables under a canopy of Jarrah trees will provide the quintessential West Australian backdrop for this series of atmospheric lunchtime feasts and candlelit dinners, each accompanied by Leeuwin’s award-winning wines and beer.

Gourmet Village, Leeuwin Estate Winery - GA includes bus transfer
