Eat Local Month Event
As part of the Scenic Rims’ Eat Local Month events, a beautiful day unfolded at the Feast in the Valley event, hosted in the idyllic setting of Country Mile Escape in Flying Fox Valley Canungra. A great turnout of enthusiastic food lovers gathered to embark on an unforgettable gastronomic adventure.
The weather was truly amazing, blessing the occasion with clear, blue skies that stretched as far as the eye could see. Bathed in warm sunshine, the vibrant colours of nature came alive, enhancing the overall experience and setting the perfect stage for an extraordinary day. The picturesque backdrop of the stunning Flying Fox Valley hills added an extra touch of magic to this already enchanting event.
The highlight of the “Feast in the Valley” was undoubtedly the spectacular four-course meal that showcased the region’s finest flavours. Every bite was a symphony of tastes, carefully crafted to delight the palate. The talented Mitch Fox and his team from Scenic Rim Catering worked their culinary magic, infusing each dish with an array of flavours that reflected the essence of the Scenic Rim. From the tantalising appetisers to the mouthwatering main courses and the exquisite dessert, it was a true culinary masterpiece- a fusion of textures, colours, and aromas.
With an added swirl, Murray from Country Mile Escape presented the guest with a butcher’s presentation of a breakdown of a side of beef. This process was both educational and fascinating as you learnt the different meat cuts and discovered how every part of the beast is used and where Scenic Rim beef is sent in the world. This left the guests spellbound.
The wines provided by Canungra Valley Vineyard added a touch of elegance to the occasion. Sourced from the local vineyards, these exceptional wines are perfectly paired with the exquisite flavours of the meal, creating a harmonious union of food and drink. And let’s not forget the Scenic Rim beef, sourced from Heit’s Quality Meats. The use of locally sourced produce was evident, as each bite of the succulent beef and produce, showcased the region’s commitment to high-quality food.

The events throughout the month of June highlighted the destination’s natural splendour, inspiring visitors to embark on day trips or extend their stay to immerse themselves in the scenic landscape and vibrant atmosphere fully.
