SA’s much loved Fleurieu Food Festival is about to explode on to the scene, with a massive program of things to do.
One of the highlights of the festival each year is the Lloyd Brothers Long Lunch and this year it’s back as a seafood extravaganza.
Known for their exquisite wines, the winery is set to launch their new 2023 Picpoul’s, including their first McLaren Vale Picpoul and third vintage of Adelaide Hills Estate Picpoul. To complement the occasion, Lloyd Brothers has curated two special menus featuring delectable seafood offerings, making it a seafood lover’s dream come true.
First up is the Twilight Gourmet Festival on Friday 25th August. Priced at $40 per person, the ticket includes entry, a sumptuous meal, and the first pour of Lloyd Brothers Estate Wine. The evening will be filled with tunes spun by DJ Normie B, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
The menu is a celebration of locally sourced Fleurieu food, showcasing delicacies like Sashimi of SA kingfish with fennel and orange, Crumbed Coorong mullet tacos with iceberg and guacamole, and Sellicks Squid served with chips, salad, and tartare. If you’re not a seafood eater, never fear! They’ll also be slinging Ellis Butcher pulled pork sliders with jalapeño slaw.
On Sunday, the exclusive Seafood Long Lunch will take place in Lloyd Brothers’ enchanting Barrel Hall. Priced at $150 per person, the ticket includes entry, an exquisite four-course meal paired with matching wines, and live entertainment by Karen De Nardi and Mike Bevan.
