Byron to Brisbane Trail with Three Blue Ducks

Overview

This July, you can taste your way from the city to Byron Bay without leaving the luxe surrounds of The W. As part of Good Food Month, the good folks from Three Blue Ducks will take over the hotel with nine courses of deliciousness — for just one night.

Every dish will represent the region's best produce, scoped out through the restaurant's close relationships with local farmers and fishers. Just a handful of the menu's offerings include fair game venison tataki with macadamia cream, spent bread and smoked blueberry vinaigrette; Fraser Isle spanner crab with celeriac and quinoa crunch; and warm coconut custard with black cacao sorbet, blood orange and passionfruit.

You can count on matches for your dishes in an extensive wine list, alongside a bunch of Byron-inspired cocktails. Meanwhile, soundtracking your feast will be one of Three Blue Ducks' favourite DJs.

Hosting the evening will be Darren Robertson, Mark Labrooy and Andy Allen — the co-owners of restaurant chain Three Blue Ducks. Robertson trained at Michelin-starred Graveyte Manor in the UK, before heading up three-hatted Tetsuya's in Sydney, where he met Labrooy. The duo teamed up with Allen after meeting through appearances on MasterChef Australia in 2012.

Byron to Brisbane Trail will take place on Sunday, July 7. Tickets cost $150 and include cocktails, grazing stations, wine and beer can be purchased here.
