As part of the six-week Shoalhaven Food Network Autumn Celebration of Food, Experience Nature is thrilled to partner with Nick Gardner from Hampden Deli, Dining & School and Brenda Sambrook from Kangaroo Valley Olives and Highgrove Estate to present
KV on SHOW – Saturday 6th May 2023
To be held on the magnificent, iconic grassed Showground ring at Kangaroo Valley’s Osborne Park, surrounded by the beauty of the escarpment offering a stunning backdrop for our outdoor food event. The leisurely, long lunch is back.
This is no ordinary long lunch. We have assembled a group of renowned chefs from the Shoalhaven South Coast and surrounds to work together for a completely different type of food experience. Each chef will be presenting a three-course meal to approx. 20 guests and then joining together to create the final course, a signature collaborative dessert made in full view of the guests. Definitely, an Instagram showstopper.
From the Kitchens of Quay, Tetsuya’s, The Ledbury (London); The French Laundry (Napa Valley); Qualia (Hamilton Island); Akiba (Canberra); L’Ancienne Auberge (France); The Waterside Inn (Berkshire); Gordon Ramsay (London) and Bouchon (Napa Valley) to now our own Shoalhaven South Coast Southern Highlands Crown Jewels, KV on SHOW brings together five chefs in one spectacular showcase event.
Imagine what Nick Gardner (Hampden Deli, Dining & School, Kangaroo Valley), Sam Smith (Ponte, Nowra), Tommy Prosser (recently at Berrima Vault House, Berrima), Damian Martin (Dangerous Ales), and Chris Thornton (Restaurant Mason) can envision together. A “chill-out lounge” also forms part of the layout and atmosphere of this outdoor lunch.
And there is a twist – you will not know which Chef’s table you and your group are seated at until you arrive at the event, although each chef will follow a formula ensuring all enjoy the main ingredients, prepared in their own unique way. And the entire dining experience will be matched with local, cool climate wines.
So, if you want to learn more about Shoalhaven South Coast growers, producers, brewers, vignerons, and our talented chefs (and their venues) this is the event for you.
Description
KV on SHOW is a premium ticketed event at $345 per person and we expect this 4-course dining experience to last until the early twilight hours of sunset. So, block off 1pm to 5.30pm on Saturday 6 May and get ready for something new and fun, with great food, stunning award-winning wines, music and the backdrop of one of the most beautiful closed in valleys in the world.
KV is ON SHOW and you’re invited!

A wonderful experience – we will be back!
My partner and I took part in the Long Italian Lunch cooking class with Stefano & Yianni. We had such a wonderful time, learnt some amazing recipes and ate some delicious food. Stefano & Yianni were wonderful hosts, they welcomed us with open arms and ensured we truely enjoyed our experience. I would highly recommend the Italian Cooking Experience to anyone and of any age! We can not wait for our next class!
Experiential learning at its best!
Experiential learning at its best! My wife and I enjoyed an informative and fun day of learning about Italian cooking in this hands-on experience, as well as getting to eat the beautiful 3 course meal that we had created paired with magnificent local wines.
Our host and Chef, Stefano, has the passion and the patience to impart his knowledge and skill to novices like us. He has a superb set up with an intimate, fully equipped teaching kitchen and the friendly dedication to make it all work. Since written recipes and instructions were supplied, we did not have to take notes and thus could fully immerse ourselves in this brilliant cooking experience.
Thanks Stefano and Yianni for a magic day. We have already booked in for a Pasta Master Class and would highly recommend others to do the same.
A Sunday of Cooking and Grazing
This was a wonderful experience with a gracious and knowledgeable host. Stefano coordinated an enjoyable and informative day, 10.30-3.30, full of hands-on cooking and eating! The menu was varied yet traditional Italian fare. Highly recommended to all. We’re taking the whole family next time!
