French and First Nations Flavours Fuse at FIRST EVER Taste of Country in the Scenic Rim
Sunday 3 November
The Scenic Rim region is to host an exciting first – the FIRST EVER Taste of Country to be held on Mununjali Country at The Overflow Estate 1895, where resident French chef Olivier Boudon will create a menu fusing Mununjali and French cuisine, in collaboration with Mununjali Traditional Owners.
On Sunday, November 3, Taste of Country has been created as the flavour finale to The Scenic Rim Trail, also featuring The Long Sunset, which is Australia’s most picturesque music festival and takes place at Canungra’s Elysian Fields, headlined this year by Australian artists Matt Corby and Angie McMahon.
Taste of Country combines fine food and wine, and fabulous music against the backdrop of vineyards overlooking Lake Wyaralong. Fans can choose between the laid-back Music on the Lawn picnic experience, or an indulgent gourmet dining event that fuses Mununjali and French cuisine and includes dishes like Wattleseed Sourdough & Finger Lime Butter, Lemon Myrtle crusted crocodile tail, smoked kangaroo with bush tomato and onion balsamic jam, toasted Macadamia Bush Rosemary sweet potato mash, crispy sheep cheese fingers with Davidson Plum jam, and Rozella creme brulee and Macadamia Shortbread.
