THE annual – and truly local – community food and wine celebration known as ‘Flavours of Chittering’ will again be held in the beautiful Lower Chittering valley on Sunday 12 September 2010. The valley is renowned for its citrus, beef, honey, wildflowers, berries and alpacas, and all of these will feature in a market ‘hub’ at the Lower Chitterng village hall and green.

Slow Food supporters and members offering tastes of Chittering will include farmers Sid and Edith de Burgh of Baramba Beef, biodynamic vegetable growers Wayne and Margaret Brock, Alix Frew of Heirloom Farm vegetable, salad and herb seedlings, Maggie Edmonds from Maggie’s Place, Catherine Lee of Regans Ridge organic olives and Patricia Tew of Food Symphony. The Bindoon Bakehaus will also have its scrumptious bread available at village ‘hub’.

Chef Emmanuel Mollois will host cooking demonstrations, there will be guided walks and winery tours, and a long-table lunch prepared with local, seasonal ingredients by Cantina 663′s Michael Forde at Western Range Wines.

Beyond the market ‘hub’, visitors will be able to explore the valley and its wineries and enjoy lunch. Wineries open for the festival include Briery Estate, Hartley Estate, Jylland Vineyard, Kyotmunga Estate, Riseborough Estate, Stringybark Winery and Western Range Wines.
