Welcome to the first Wines of While x Perth City Farm Longtable Dinner, a celebration of local food and seasonal abundance held under the stars, in good company, this summer on the farm.

Join us on Friday the 7th of January for a farm-to-plate dining experience, showcasing an incredible variety of freshly picked tomatoes and summer harvest produce - sourced from just metres away on the farm. Our chefs, Jack Botha (ex-Brawn and River Cottage |UK|) and Branden Scott (ex-King Somm, Meat Candy and Bread in Common) will prepare 6 courses, with a glass of sparkling on arrival. Our wines will be also available for purchase by the glass from our on-site bar - from dazzling whites, skin contact orange wines, chilled rose and reds, and tea and coffee to finish.

** Tickets on sale 23rd November **

WINES OF WHILE

Wines of While began in 2018, a dream made into reality, a desire to provide the people of Perth and the community around the bar with real, wholesome food, sourced locally and organically and natural wines from Australia and around the world. Natural wines are those, thoughtfully grown using organic and/or biodynamic practices, hand picked, fermented with their own indigenous yeast and bottled without any additions. They are wines of purity! Just grapes!

We’re so thrilled to be working with Perth City Farm, who have for the last 6 months been providing us with wonderful organic vegetables, leaves and fruits for our menu at the bar. Tomato season is incredibly exciting each year, nothing gets us more hopeful about the end of summer than the full ripening of an increasingly diverse spectrum of tomatoes available locally. Sweetness, fragrance and acidity meshing together to deliver an undeniable taste of summer.

PERTH CITY FARM

Perth City Farm is an urban permaculture farm and a welcoming oasis in a busy city. Established in 1994 on a formerly polluted industrial site in East Perth, our lovingly rehabilitated land is now a central haven and a local icon. Our urban farm is an evolving space supporting environmental sustainability and community engagement - we tend the land by organic practices and invite visitors to spend time in our garden, to connect, learn and grow. Our market garden produce is available to take home with you from our weekly farmer’s market, and is featured on selected local restaurant menus throughout Perth and Fremantle. From our farm, to your table.

Market Garden Coordinator Katie works with local restaurants and chefs in creating bespoke menus that feature our farm-grown, organic seasonal produce. She takes the time to nurture uncommon varieties that inspire people to grow and eat locally, slowly and sustainably. A qualified horticulturalist with a career in food production, food media and landscape gardening, Katie is passionate about tomatoes and loves to talk all things plants.

Kaya! Many years ago this precious land was near the water course and wetlands that formed a rich source of food for Whadjuk Noongar people. Now, we tend our farm here by regenerative permaculture practices to heal and care for Country. We thank the traditional custodians of Boorloo, and look after Boodjar with respect and good stewardship. Yanga, and Wanju.
