We're right in the middle of another fabulous Spring Festival and this week we have some very special events that you can attend.

There are only a few tickets left for the Herbs & Flowers Lunch with Patrizia Simone and the Dinner with Angus Stewart at Sole e Luna. You'll be sorry if you miss out on these opportunities to dine with the finest that Bright has to offer!

Patrizia has put together a lovely array of dishes for you to share, and the Alpine Vignerons will be there to recommend a wine to accompany your meal. Contact Guy at The Garden Gallery on 5750 1804 to pick up a last minute seat.

If you'd like to listen to the secrets of a gardening expert, then head along to dinner with Angus Stewart at Sole e Luna. Contact Country Tales on 5750 1199 to book now.

We hope that everyone is enjoying this year's festival as much as we are! So far we've been to a fabulous Oktoberfest, wonderful Wandi Family Fun Day and some spectacular open gardens! I look forward to enjoying the rest of the events with you!

Angus Stewart's new book to be launched at the Bright Spring Festival!

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:38:00 GMT

Not only are we lucky enough to have Angus Stewart from ABC's Gardening Australia attend the festival this year, but he has brought forward the launch of his new book!

Country Tales in Barnard Street will be the official launch site of the book titled "Creating An Australian Garden". On Wednesday October 27th Angus will be on site to sign your copy of his new book, followed by a workshop at Pearl Samson's garden in Harrietville and then he will be guest speaker at Sole e Luna that night! Phew - what a schedule!

I know I'm excited and can't wait to be one of the first to get my hands on the new book.

Cup Day in the country

Have you thought about what you'd like to do on Melbourne Cup Day yet?

Even though you'll be visiting the Bright Spring Festival, doesn't mean you can't don a frock, a facinator and some sparkly heels to watch the race that stops the nation!

The local wineries offer a wonderful range of activities including spectacular regional produce, roving entertainers and of course a big screen to watch your horse come in first!

Check out the Melbourne Cup events here and make your booking early!

Food Fabulous Food!
