The Feast is a progressive dining adventure inspired by the stars and designed to connect diners to the spirit of a magical location through its local produce, storytelling, a hint of theatre and a touch of the unexpected.
Surrounded by flickering candlelight and in a secret venue hand-crafted by old sugar gum trees and corrugated iron, the evening's feast explores historic cooking techniques that engage the palate with tastes and flavours inspired from land and sea. The culmination is a superb feast cooked over a fire on coals.
The experience, which includes a Kangaroo Island Spirit welcome cocktail, costs $145 pp. It is available from October 14-November 1, and November 11-29 every Thursday to Monday from 7.30-10.15pm.

Gastronomo has another popular dining experience, Enchanted Fig Tree, where guests will dine amid the dappled light of a 100-year-old fig tree.
Over the four-month season, guests will begin their culinary experience with a welcome Spirit Gin cocktail beside the mulberry tree or in the property's rustic shearing shed, before dining under the gnarled limbs and of fig tree.
Inspired by fig mythology, the island location, sea, land and earth, head chef Stephanie Vass has handcrafted a special six-course menu that includes a splash of fairy tale!
