Barossa – From Paddock to Plate at Hutton Vale

Seven generations of the Angas family have run Hutton Vale Farm since 1843. Today, repurposed heritage buildings and sprawling vineyards form the oldest mixed family farm in the Barossa.

Today, you’ll explore this remarkable property and enjoy a casual yet intimate lunch with sixth-generation custodians of the land, John and Jan Angas. Showcasing food that reflects the culture of the Barossa with home-grown produce to form an authentic ‘paddock to plate’ experience, this dining experience will be one to remember. Your day begins with your private local guide picking you up from your accommodation to head north to the Barossa Valley, enjoying inspiring scenery of vineyards and gumtrees.

Upon arriving at the farm, you’ll begreeted and led around the property by John Angas. Discover the rhythm of country life first-hand, and follow the journey of production across Hutton Vale’s wide range of produce, including wool, free-range lamb, duck, chicken, pork, artisan food products such as pickles and preserves, and award-winning wines including Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet and Grenache from some of the Barossa’s oldest vines. Uncover the rich history of this iconic South Australian property, which remains part of the original estate created in 1843during the early colonial period of the state.

From there, you’ll continue enjoying warm country hospitality as you sit down for your farmhouse lunch hosted by Jan Angas. A dedicated and fabulous cook with extensive knowledge of the regional food and flavours, Jan rightfully specialises in the robust flavours of the Barossa, both from produce grown on her own property, and produce sourced from local artisan makers. Take a seat at their table and enjoy authentic Barossa generosity with a rich, two-course meal with accompanying beverages from their own vineyard in the Hutton Vale private garden.

Over this lunch experience, you’ll share relaxed and real stories, and delve into rich discussion of the region and its history to develop a deeper appreciation for this beautiful space.

Once satiated after sampling a delicious range of Barossa Valley produce and the day winds down, you’ll be delivered back to your accommodation by your local private guide.
