LA HORA DEL VERMUT (THE VERMOUTH HOUR)

The last ten years have seen an explosion of new vermouths as younger generations rediscover “the vermouth hour” - the pre-lunch period when families in cities like Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia meet for an aperitif. We are going to explore Vermouth, it's styles, production at Oranje Tractor and tastings, paired with seasonal Tapas prepared by the exceptional Sophie Zalokar.

For this intimate event you will, upon arrival, be presented with an Elixyr Spritz – a refreshing, vibrant spritzer-style cocktail. You’ll then be seated to hear all about this exciting fortified, aromatised wine and enjoy samples to match the Tapas created from locally sourced produce. Sophie will discuss her approach to matching the variety of snacky textures and flavours tapas offer with the alchemy of Vermouth’s botanicals.

Date and time

Sun 15th May 2022, 11:00am - 1:00pm, 2.30pm - 4.00 and 6.00pm -8.00pm AWST

Walking Conversation: Organic & Regen AG Small Farm Tour

Our walking tour highlights the transformation of a beef cattle paddock to a certified organic small farm more than 20 years ago. It showcases over 100 different fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, spices, fungi, edible flowers, wild weeds (seeds and leaves) and animal forage plants.

On this three hour experience, conversations will be many, varied, constantly moving, yet interlinked and reinforcing. You’ll get up close to a wide range of organic and regenerative practices used to produce food and wine for the planet.

Growing nutrient dense food without fertilisers, farming without a tractor and ute, hugelkulture, espalier fruit trees, grafting avocados, cool and warm season green manures to increase pasture diversity are all possible conversations. But, as sure as a tree draws carbon into the soil to feed hungry biota, you will find something of interest. And, if that’s not enough you will discover up to 25 botanicals that are used to produce vermouth on this walking conversation tour.

Morning tea and vegetable curry lunch included.

9.00am-12.00pm.
