Before the 2012 Fayre

We're filling in time before the next Glenlyon Fine Food and Wine Fayre (29 July 2012) with the Worlds Longest Lunch on Friday 2 March.  The official info says it's in Daylesford, but it's actually being held in the main street of Glenlyon!


It's eight years since the last huge, wonderful lunch party was held under Glenlyon's canopy of leafy trees.  We invite you to join us in 2012 when the talented chefs of Daylesford will showcase the best produce from the region. Come and experience the lifestyle of the village of Glenlyon and share the passion of the local chefs and vignerons.

Start with canapés from "Wild Birch" (the dining room of Peppers Mineral Springs Retreat) and Chanters Ridge Vineyard Macedon Sparkling at the Old Glenlyon General Store and perambulate up the avenue to the long tables under the shade of the elm trees outside the historic Glenlyon Shire Hall.

Take your place at the long tables for a Japanese inspired entrée from Kazuki Tsuya of Kazuki's at the Raglan (formerly of Lake House and France-Soir), matched with a Pinot Grigio from Fontanella Wines of Glenlyon and Sailors Falls Estate.

Michael de Jong (formerly the chef of Farmers Arms) will be seeking out the best produce from the region for the main course to match with wines from Ellender Estate and Passing Clouds.

Christian Reuther of Ego's Culinaria and Ego Cakes & Catering will tempt you with one of his exceptional desserts, matched with a Gewürztraminer Auslese from Birthday Villa at Malmsbury.

Proceeds to the Glenlyon CFA Fire Station Building Project and Glenlyon Progress Association.
