Italian Sunset Dinner (Golden Hour) at The Dairy Burringbar

Italian Sunset Dinner at The Dairy

After a beautiful break, we’re back with something truly special. For nearly a century, The Dairy at Burringbar has been nestled in lush green fields, surrounded by rolling hills, Jersey cows, and happy hens. Our family has been its custodians for almost 50 years, with three generations growing up here—milking house cows, collecting eggs, making butter and cheese, and sharing abundant meals with family and friends.

Food is at the heart of our Italian heritage. Some of our fondest memories are of long, laughter-filled dinners with Nonna, her table set under the old black bean tree, where we gathered as the sun dipped below the hills. The air was thick with the aroma of slow-cooked meats, fresh pasta, and fragrant herbs, while share plates overflowed with antipasti, handmade ravioli, wood-fired bread, and verdure di primavera (spring vegetables). And, of course, there was always room for dolci.

Now, we invite you to experience this tradition with us. As golden hour bathes the farm in its warm glow, join us for our first event of 2025—the Italian Sunset Dinner. Gather around our long table at The Dairy and savour authentic dishes crafted from fresh, local produce, inspired by the flavours of our family’s villages in both northern and southern Italy.

Our previous events sold out in just a week, so be sure to book early to secure your seat at this intimate gathering. We look forward to sharing our table, our traditions, and a magical summer evening with you.
