This November, the city and the country are coming together for a two-night all-inclusive culinary collaboration featuring Lennox Hastie of acclaimed inner-city restaurant ‘Firedoor’ and Tristan Rebbettes of Luxury Australian Destination ‘Mona Farm’ located in Braidwood, Regional NSW.
From November 7-9, guests are invited to enjoy a luxurious journey through Mona Farm’s 124- acre award-winning estate, culminating with a theatrical Firedoor x Mona Farm fire-inspired menu. Paired with wines, luxury accommodation and a compelling collection of contemporary Australian art, this experience is guaranteed to set your senses alight!
Limited to only 38 tickets, this exclusive event is priced at $1,450 per person inclusive of;
- Two-night stay in one of Mona Farm’s six luxury Guest Houses
- Mona Farm’s Signature Spritz & Grazing Board on arrival
- Three-course dinner from Tristan’s Spring ‘Guest House Menu’, designed to be enjoyed in the privacy of your own Guest House (night 1)
- A five-course fire-inspired menu plus chef’s snacks, designed and theatrically prepared by Lennox Hastie & Tristan Rebbettes (the hero event, night 2)
- Complimentary mini bar
- Breakfast each morning
- Complimentary activities; guided art & sculpture tours, garden tours, fitness sessions and Mona Farm’s iconic Interactive Farm Tours featuring their permanent farm residents
This high-profile collaboration signals the beginning of an exciting series of ‘world-class’ events introduced by General Manager, Romy Besnard and supported by Mona Farm owners Bill & Belinda Pulver. “We’re excited to deliver an experience that challenges what’s expected of a traditional chef collaboration or farm stay. Across all areas of the business, we pride ourselves on our contemporary approach to classic concepts and more importantly, our ability to surprise and delight our guests” says Romy.
This sentiment is mirrored by Tristan Rebbettes who says he’s “looking forward to designing a Firedoor x Mona Farm menu that fuses traditional and contemporary cooking-styles together."
Speaking of the menu, both chefs intend to hero local produce and seasonal ingredients throughout all five courses. In recent years, Braidwood has become a popular destination for 140 Little River Road Braidwood NSW 2622 chefs in search of quality home-grown produce. Lennox himself was first introduced to Mona Farm through his connection with a Braidwood-based truffle farm, making this event an authentic fit for him.
“I’m looking forward to creating an incredible experience at the beautiful Mona Farm come November. Braidwood is a wonderful part of the world, home to some of my favourite produce, and I’m looking forward to working with Tristan on an exciting menu.” Lennox says.
In addition to enjoying a range of ‘paddock-to-plate’ produce such as Tristan’s house-made smoked ricotta and Mona Farm Wessex Saddleback sausage, those familiar with the savory genius of Lennox Hastie will be pleased to hear that his signature dry-aged beef will be making a strong celebrity appearance on the evening.
