Paddock to Plate Dining Trail
Things To Do Margaret River, Augusta-Margaret River, Western Australia
The global drive for food sustainability has shone a big, fat spotlight on the importance of not just eating local, but ensuring what is harvested from or upon the earth is completely consumed. Paddock to the plate. Nose to tail. These two philosophies go hand-in-hand with minimising impact and preserving the environment.
In the Margaret River Region, such an approach is increasingly the mainstay. Take a tour of the farms, wineries and restaurants to discover what paddock to plate means across the pristine South West.
You’ll meet the chefs and producers, check out working farms, explore seasonal gardens and learn about local produce. You’ll dine at some of the region’s favoured winery restaurants and purchase hand-crafted goods to take home. Marvel at the many experiences at Olio Bello, The Farm House Margaret River, Voyager Estate, Leeuwin Estate, Glenarty Road, de’sendent and The Margaret River Truffle Farm.
