Australia’s Authentic Paddock to Plate Festival
If you’re craving a weekend escape filled with fresh produce, stunning views and unique experiences, Scenic Rim Local Month is your perfect getaway. Held annually in June and just an hour from Brisbane, this month long celebration offers over 120 events, including paddock to plate dining experiences, hands on workshops, masterclasses and farm tours. It’s a chance to explore the region’s farms, wineries and distilleries while recharging your senses.
Enjoy long lunches at local farms, where the food is freshly sourced and the views are nothing short of spectacular. Sip on wine from nearby vineyards, basking in the beauty of the surrounding mountains as the sun sets. Take part in immersive experiences like Meet the Producer, where you can engage with artisans and learn about their craft or dive into artisanal cheese making with boutique producers.
Other highlights include the Farm Tour & Taste at Summer Land Camels, Edible Flower Picking and Cupcake Decorating at Elderflower Farm, Kalfresh Carrot Day at Kalfresh Vegetables Farm and the Liqueur Making Class at Tamborine Mountain Distillery.
The region’s natural beauty is just as impressive as its food. Hike through lush rainforests, discover hidden waterfalls or stroll through towns like Beaudesert and Boonah, where you can explore local markets and cafés. Scenic Rim Local Month is your chance to relax, enjoy great food and experience Queensland’s countryside, all just a short drive from Brisbane.
