About
Regional Life
Living in regional Australia is all about moving in harmony with the seasons and this affects all aspect of life in the Southern Highlands. Being able to buy fresh from local markets or farms means that the growing cycles are at the centre of life for all. Whether you are an executive, a producer, agri tourism operator, entrepreneur, winemaker, office worker or stay at home carer, we are all influenced by the harvest.
The Highland Harvest Feasts, a series of foodie events, was created to offer an authentic insight into how people, product and place all work together in this stunning mountainous greenbelt just two hours from our state and national capitals.
Our events are authentic dining experiences that connect you with nature as we bring to life seasonal customs that are a twist on past Pagan, Saxon, Nordic and Celtic banquets. Each feast has its own unique personality to match the time of year it celebrates.
Come and experience life in our heritage villages, dine in pristine wilderness, sip cool climate wines and meet the personalities that make this region, atop the great dividing range, so magical.
