Andrea’s desire to bring the pure joy of food speaks clearly through his creations. His dishes tell the story of a chef intrigued by the world yet deeply indebted and connected to his roots. “My wish is to create exceptional food for the whole family. Seeing people experience the joy of eating together drives me to keep cooking and creating. Food reminds us of where we come from and where we belong.”

Unbeknownst to Barossa-born and bred Matt, the pedigree and passion for winemaking ran through his veins, inherited from a father who has notched forty-five vintages to his belt. His love of the ocean and marine life steered him towards a degree in Aquaculture. After completing his studies, Matt signed up for the 2004 harvest at Wolf Blass Winery to fund his post-study travels. One vintage rolled into another, and the love of wine undoubtedly took hold.
