Where land, food and people come together
Join us for the autumn harvest as we celebrate our local producers and communities through food, farming and shared experiences.
From long-table dinners and farmers’ markets to community gardens, behind-the-scenes tours, talks and classes, Golden Vale Table brings together the people who grow, make and share the food of our region.
Come and take a seat at our Golden Vale Table.
