Tasting Australia Airlines - Murray River

River time means a chance to reset. Time slows when beside the Murray and in the company of local chefs and producers, together with interstate counterparts who revel in an unconventional kitchen. This full-day adventure illuminates Riverland abundance. Guests will begin with a short flight from Adelaide to Renmark, then travel by pontoon cruiser boat to explore two fascinating sites alongside expert guides from Murray River Trails. Stroll the riverbank and visit eucalypts once used by Aboriginal groups to carve canoes, also stopping at a food station shaped by local chef Anthony Cresp of fine diner Temperance. Next: an uphill meander to gaze over beautifully ochre-hued Headings Cliff while enjoying a second snack. Gather for lunch on the top deck of luxury houseboat High River. Chefs Darren Robertson and Andy Allen of Three Blue Ducks collective will have eats covered. This is lunching at its most memorable – dishes enjoyed riverside that honour ingredients nourished by the same waterway. To pair? Regional wine and spirits: sun-kissed and charting their own course. A beverage from festival partner St Agnes is sure to be among the day’s highlights. A coach transfer after lunch will lead to the orchards of Singing Magpie Produce. Find Georgia Roberts – most recently of Adelaide’s LOC Bottle Bar – preparing dessert alongside producers Frank, Ros and Sue Heward. Entry Cost All tickets $995 - See website for inclusions
