Great Barrier Feast on Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island Great Barrier Feast Food and Wine Series

Near to entering its third year, Hamilton Island’s highly successful Great Barrier Feast includes a series of separate haute cuisine weekends at qualia, offering guests the exclusive opportunity to immerse themselves in a truly intimate ‘behind the scenes’ experience and learn directly from a world-class chef in a world-class setting.

Hosted by highly respected restaurant critic and columnist Simon Thomsen, each gourmet weekend begins on a Friday evening with a welcome dinner designed by qualia’s Executive Chef, featuring wines paired by renowned wine critic James Halliday. The following day guests can attend two AEG Masterclasses to broaden their knowledge of the unique techniques and processes used by these highly acclaimed chefs which make them the individuals that they are. As the sun begins to set, a showpiece dinner held at qualia’s Long Pavilion allows guests to watch a world-renowned chef prepare their culinary delights step-by-step via a live camera link-up from the kitchen.
