For Adam Upton-Browning our executive chef, the kitchen is a place where his love and passion for creating happy food comes to fruition. By this he means food that is honest, welcoming and brings people together. This ethos ties in perfectly with the owners Mediterranean heritage and vision for Marnong Estate as a place where the community can gather, belong and connect. Since Marnong Estate opened in June 2018, a kitchen garden has been established and an olive and truffle grove are in the works. As Victoria’s first Wagyu farm, the cattle are in prime condition to produce premium dry aged steak. It’s more than just the fresh local produce that is a focus here, we’re also passionate about sustainability with all waste being turned into compost on the 1200-acre working farm. It’s about coming full circle, tying everything together and making a positive impact.
