Baw Baw Shire Council has partnered with Hogget Kitchen and Walhalla Goldfields Railway to host a winter feast for the senses in Walhalla on Sunday 3 July.
Starting with a scenic journey on the historic Walhalla Goldfields Railway, diners will be greeted at Walhalla Railway Station with mulled wine, hot chai and nibbles served fresh on the platform.
They will then travel by private train through Stringers Gorge and across the Thomson River, showcasing the spectacular scenery which surrounds the historic goldmining township.
The next stop will be a warming three course winter lunch showcasing the region’s finest produce prepared by Gippsland’s very own hatted restaurant Hogget Kitchen. The menu will comprise a Christmas-in-July roast and festive dishes curated by award winning restaurateur Trevor Perkins.
Mel Beasley, Manager at the Walhalla Goldfields Railway says “Walhalla Goldfields Railway is delighted to have Hogget Kitchen and its patrons in Walhalla for this exciting event”.
