Tour and Taste Lunches

Our regular Tour and Taste lunches provide food for the brain and stomach! They commence with a guided tour of our Cornucopia Australis exhibition on Australia's early history.  The exhibition features  a wonderful mural painted by Aboriginal artists Aunty Eileen Harrison and Jenny Murray-Jones. The exhibition is located at Cornucopia, one km before the farm at 459 Tynong North road, Tynong North. The exhibition tour is followed by a guided tour of the native food display garden at Peppermint Ridge Farm featuring over twenty five species.

You then sit back and enjoy a delicious three course lunch in the Schoolhouse Cafe. The menu is guided by fresh, seasonal produce straight from our kitchen garden and with either option you’ll be treated to a unique meal highlighting the flavours of Australian native foods. Everything we serve is prepared in-house for you by our family.

Cost: $120pp

Please note that we offer a set menu and are not able to accommodate all dietary requirements. Starters  are vegetarian with a chicken & vegetarian option for main course. Please check with us if you have questions before making your booking.
