It is Spring in the
Fleurieu Peninsula
As the days gradually lengthen and the strengthening sun’s rays begin warming the sleepy soil, it’s as if the earth suddenly comes alive as it bursts forth in a profusion of new growth, flowers and fertility. Spring is here! And it brings with it a feeling of celebration and anticipation.
There is an abundance of fresh produce: crisp green asparagus stalks, ripe cheeses, plump fresh yabbies and aromatic herbs. During the month of October new release olive oil and the new wine vintage are celebrated in the culinary spectacular of ‘Fiesta!’. Throughout a month of festivities, visitors are invited to share with locals in the flavours of the Fleurieu, as talented chefs and winemakers showcase the versatility and heady flavours of fine wines and freshly pressed, extra virgin olive oil. |
