Eats event, peak perfection

LAST weekend saw gourmet adventurers enjoy the sights, tastes and sounds of this year's Eats at the Peak celebrations at Mount Hotham.

Over February 15 and 16, dozens of gastronomic enthusiasts made a pilgrimage to the high country to celebrate our local suppliers and participate in a number of masterclasses to prepare regional produce.

"It was a very successful event this year," one of the Eats at the Peak organisers, Steve Belli said.

"We had our first snow of the season on Saturday, which I'm sure it stopped a few people from coming to the event.

"To be fair it does get cold here in winter, down to minus seven, but it was a fantastic weekend for all involved.

"The collaboration between local agribusinesses, customers and local businesses on and off the mountain has been great for building awareness of our excellent produce and the sustainable methodology in our region.

"We'd like to thank all the agribusinesses, local breweries, wineries and distilleries that were in attendance, plus our local musos for putting on a great weekend.

"Thanks also to the part-funding from DEECA and the support from Alpine Resorts Victoria to achieve this great event.

"It is envisaged at this point in time that the event will run in 2026."
