Guests were treated to a truly immersive paddock-to-plate experience at Alsahwa Estate on Sunday 27 July as part of The Curated Plate festival, with a Seed to Plate feasting event celebrating local produce, sustainable farming, and seasonal flavours.
The day began with a refreshing cocktail courtesy of Sunshine and Sons, topped with a curated selection of artisan charcuterie, which was enjoyed while wandering through the lush gardens in the sunshine.
Visitors then gathered in the Edible Garden for in-depth conversations with the Alsahwa agricultural team. These discussions offered insight into the estate’s regenerative farming practices and the close relationship between garden and kitchen.
A shared three-course feast followed at long tables in the Alsahwa Estate Restaurant, where guests experienced a menu designed to honour the land and its growers.
Every dish spotlighted seasonal ingredients sourced from the estate and nearby suppliers.
The event captured the essence of The Curated Plate’s mission: to showcase the Sunshine Coast’s rich agricultural landscape and the passionate people behind its food.
The Curated Plate festival runs until 3 August. Alsahwa Estate is hosting another sold-out event, Bees and Brunch, as part of the festival on Saturday 2 August.
The Asian Food Festival at Spicers Tamarind Retreat on 2 and 3 August, will be a real treat, as well as Jazz on a Plate in Kenilworth on Friday 2 August.
