The Great Southern is something of a quiet achiever in Western Australia’s food story. This journey includes visits to Kojonup, Mt Barker, Albany and Denmark with new discoveries each day.
The cooler coastal climate, reliable rainfall and rich agricultural country create the conditions for an extraordinary range of food to be grown and produced – from dairy, grains and vegetables to berries, orchard fruits and some of the state’s most sought-after seafood. And then there’s the wine. This is one of WA’s great cool-climate wine regions, yet it still feels wonderfully unassuming.
What's in store on this food adventure
The Food
Amongst the varied dining experiences will be an evening at Albany’s most revered restaurant, where French and Vietnamese cuisine beautifully intertwine. We’ll eat the freshest, award winning fish and chips where you can smell the ocean, and gather around a huge Marri table for a property-sourced menu in stunning surrounds. There are delicious breakfast at charming local cafes, winery grazing boards and picnics with epic views.
The People
Long-standing relationships with family-owned businesses and farms give us rare access to working properties usually closed to the public. Step behind the scenes and meet the people shaping the Great Southern’s food story — from Greek family fishmongers whose deft hands turn the cool-water catch into pristine fillets, to the new cheesemaker carrying forward a much-loved Denmark brand with skill, care and fresh vision.
The Place
The Great Southern is shaped by rich soils, a temperate climate and a clean growing environment where market gardens thrive, elegant cool-climate wines are produced and the ocean delivers its bounty. Our journey finishes at the Albany Farmers Market, where many familiar faces gather each week — the perfect place to fill your bags and take home a true taste of the region this spring.
