Meet The Operators -
Mic Giuliani is one of the caped crusaders of Tasmanian food. Foraging, tasting and investigating different ingredients, Mic spends a lot of time thinking about food. When he’s not thinking about it, he’s in his commercial kitchen cooking up magic, using fresh and foraged Tasmanian ingredients to create dishes for Sirocco South – his fabulous take on Italian cuisine.
“Family was my food inspiration, for sure,” Mic says. “My mum and my grandparents – they were really old-style Italian when it came to fresh ingredients and food. Their view was something like, ‘Air is air and water’s okay to drink, but there’s all this fabulous stuff growing that’s great to eat.’”
Mic has been sharing his take on traditional recipes with a much larger Tasmanian family for years now and you can find him, the first and third Sundays of the month at Hobart’s Farm Gate Market, and at special events including Dark Mofo. Now, he’s decided to invite people along for his favourite food pastime – foraging ingredients to create a long-table Tasmanian dining experience – literally, from paddock to plate.
FROM FORAGE TO FEAST, A DISTINCTLY TASMANIAN ADVENTURE
Embark on a dining experience like no other. Spend the morning exploring the stunning Tasmanian coastline and bushland with native food expert and Tasmanian food icon Mic Giuliani.
Work up an appetite and take in the fresh salt air direct from the southern ocean around Frederick Henry and Tiger Head Bays east of Tasmania's capital as you forage for fresh ingredients endemic to the area including native greens, delicious mushrooms, wild asparagus, saltbush, and a host of other ingredients.
With baskets full and stomachs rumbling retire to the deluxe bush camp where Mic his team will turn your mornings finds into a delicious 6 course, long-table feast including local meats, fresh caught seafood, oysters and seasonal ingredients.
Each course will be paired with stunning local wines from the multi-award winning Bream Creek Winery located just a few minutes away with winemakers Fred Peacock and Rafe Nottage on hand to offer tasting notes and expertise to further enhance these great pairings.
