Lennox Hastie and Tristan Rebettes join culinary forces at Mona Farm for exclusive one-off event

Limited to 38 tickets, the hero event will be a five-course dinner plus chef's snacks, designed and theatrically prepared by Hastie and Rebbettes on the second night.

The two-night package also includes accommodation in one of Mona Farm's six guest houses, a three-course dinner on night one, designed to be enjoyed in your own guest house; a signature spritz and grazing board on arrival; complimentary mini bar, breakfast each morning; and complimentary activities such as guided art and sculpture tours, garden tours, fitness sessions and the popular farm tours featuring the permanent farm residents.

Both chefs intend to hero local produce and seasonal ingredients throughout all five courses. In recent years, Braidwood has become a popular destination for chefs in search of quality, homegrown produce.

Hastie was first introduced to Mona Farm through his connection with a Braidwood-based truffle farm, making this event an authentic fit for him.

"I'm looking forward to creating an incredible experience at the beautiful Mona Farm come November," he says.

"Braidwood is a wonderful part of the world, home to some of my favourite produce, and I'm looking forward to working with Tristan on an exciting menu."

In addition to enjoying a range of "paddock-to-plate" produce such as Rebettes' house-made smoked ricotta and Mona Farm Wessex Saddleback sausage. Those familiar with Hastie's savory genius will be pleased to hear that his signature dry-aged beef will be making a strong celebrity appearance on the evening.

This high-profile collaboration signals the beginning of an exciting series of world-class events introduced by general manager Romy Besnard and supported by Mona Farm owners Bill and Belinda Pulver.

"We're excited to deliver an experience that challenges what's expected of a traditional chef collaboration or farm stay," Besnard says.
