National award winning island!
Kangaroo Island has been named Australia’s Best Regional Food Destination in the prestigious Vogue Entertaining and Travel Audi Produce Awards.
Kangaroo Island’s win follows nearly four years of support through Food South Australia’s regional food program to further develop regional capabilities and food culture.
Over the last 15 years original producers such as Fryar’s Free Range Eggs, Kangaroo Island Ligurian Honey, Ferguson’s, KIAB and Hog Bay Apiary have set a benchmark for quality and should be congratulated for their commitment to the industry.
Kangaroo Island wasn’t the only region to be recognised in the awards. In a glowing endorsement of the local food industry, South Australia’s Joseph First Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil won the award for consistently excellent product while Simarloo Glace Fruit, Mayura Station Wagyu, The Barossa Valley Cheese Company and Woodside Cheese Wrights were all finalists.
