Scenic Rim Eat Local Week 2019

Overview

Sometimes, even the most adventurous among us need a little push, a dash of motivation or some extra incentive to take a particular leap. So you've always wanted to wander around southeast Queensland's Scenic Rim region, but have never found the time? Well, consider the area's annual Eat Local Week all the reason you need.

If exploring, eating and drinking can't get you in the car and down the highway, then nothing can. Unsurprisingly, that's just the big-picture view of this nine-day festival. Promoting Scenic Rim produce and the people behind it, the program includes everything from a winter harvest festival, olive grove tastings, ice cream masterclasses and artisan markets to brewery banter, a day dedicated to street food, wine and tapas in a vineyard, and cheesemaking classes.

Camel training, bush tucker, country cooking and a picnic in an alpaca farm are also on the bill — as is a festival at a bowls club. Basically, if it's an event in the Beaudesert, Boonah, Beechmont and Mt Barney area between Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, July 7, it's on the agenda.
