Details
Rose Creek Estate has been described as 'Tuscany in East Keilor', with the house and vineyard surrounded by 300 olive trees, and fresh fruit and vegetables all just a step from the back door. The Sicilianos established Rose Creek Estate based on their home town, Varapodio, in Italy. The views and family atmosphere around Rose Creek Estate and the family's passion for traditional Italian cuisine and living give the property in the suburbs a Mediterranean ambience.
Lena Sicilano will give attendees a personal tour of the property, talk about their ingenious use of garden materials as well as provide tastings and advice about preparing seasonal produce. There will also be an opportunity to purchase their homemade olive oil and wine. This is set to be a highly enjoyable, engaging event that you can share with your fellow kitchen gardeners. If you have any experiences or questions you would like to discuss, this is the perfect forum.
