Highland Valley Forage

The Highland Valley Forage in Kangaroo Valley will be back in October 2022 for the last time at our Kangaroo Valley location. This foodie trail tells the story of how the Southern Highlands, Shoalhaven and Coast, South of Sydney are connected, through food and wine.

Be sustained by our 10-course degustation menu, meet the locals, taste cool climate wines, smell the wild flowers blooming in the warm spring air and take in some of the most breathtaking scenery of the region as you experience the Highland Valley Forage. Enjoy our 4km experience or take in the entire 9.5km walk.

Guests walk along the Three Views Walking track, stopping at 10 food and beverage stations along the way, enjoying a degustation lunch, meeting the local food and wine producers and being part of nature. This area was directly impacted in January 2020 by the bushfires and is regenerating. Walk through this fire affected region, experiencing the changing landscape and native wildflowers, whilst taking in the warm spring air.

We welcome our local sponsors Shoalhaven Tourism as well as promotional partners NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and Destination Southern Highlands as part of this event. We also thank Birch, Bangalay Dining, Hampden Deli and Dining, Blackhen Kitchen and Trolleyd as well as our wine partners for their culinary creations that make this a unique experience, every time we enter the track. This wonderful dream team will be back for our October event.

Choose from two options on the day; a 4km experience or the entire 9.5km walk.

The track is almost completely flat, so it’s suitable for all fitness levels. Experience the best of this region in a leisurely long degustation food and wine trail through blooming spring wildflowers in Morton National Park.

So you can meander at your own pace we take bookings at allocated a times with each group around 12 -20 people, so guests are staggered throughout the day. Parking has been arranged at the Osborne Park Showground on Moss Vale Road in Kangaroo Valley and is included in your ticket price. When you start the Forage you will be given a booklet outlining all elements of the walk as well as a wine glass for your tastings.

Cost  | 10 course degustation $195 per person.

This includes parking, bus ride there and back which is 15 mins each way, all food and wine for the day as well as NSW Parks fees and GST. We are unable to accommodate specific dietary requests however approx 7 of the 10 stations are suitable for vegetarians. Please also note that this is an over 18 years event.

We recommend flat shoes that cover your feet like trainers, no thongs or sandals, as this is a national park and whilst its flat and a well worn track, it is an unmodified natural surface. Please bring your own filled water bottle (there will be refill stations along the way), sunscreen and a hat for the spring weather. This is a beginners walk so suitable for all fitness levels.
