Gourmet Coast Trail The Gourmet Coast Trail is a member-based Association of diverse quality food tourism experiences And why establish a gourmet foodtrail in this region?
(1)

The Gourmet Coast Trail was founded in 2020 by Lucy Wilson, Greg Lissaman and Fiona Kotvojs. It is a member-based community association of over 50 food-related businesses founded with the objective of building year-round food tourism on the far south coast of NSW. To facilitate this, a website (www.gourmetcoasttrail.com.au) was launched Nov 2021. The Monaro Post explained this well:

The coast

of southern New South Wales (Batemans Bay to the Victorian border) is a hidden gem. With some of the best produce in Australia, you would expect every food lover to be here, but it largely remains a secret. Those of us in on the secret know that at the various producer markets scattered along the coast, you will find tomatoes that taste like tomatoes should – full of sun and flavour, milk that is the colour of cream, cheese that evokes the flavour of local fields, wine that captures the sunlight and taste of berries, oysters just out of pristine estuaries – each estuary bringing their own unique flavour, and in winter, truffles with their warm earthy aroma. They know the restaurateurs who use these local ingredients to bring the heart of our coastal flavours to your plate. They know this region is made unique by the passion of the producers, their love for the land in which they live, their love for quality food and their love for sharing this with others. This region is one of intimacy – far from the crowds. The region is one where you can share with the producer their passion. You can walk along a beach learning to harvest the edible seaweed, make your own gin under the guidance of international award winning distillers, milk a cow; partake in coffee cupping, a gourmet picnic or a long lunch; or hunt for truffles completely surrounded by national parks, and that is just the start! To date, the producers and local community have taken all this for granted. They haven’t taken full advantage of the opportunities it provides. All this is changing. Running from Batemans Bay to the border, led by Fiona Kotvojs, Greg Lissaman and Lucy Wilson, the Gourmet Coast Food Trail has been established. The hidden producers are being brought into the limelight, the secrets made public. Others will be able to share. Have a look at what is on offer - great food (it is fresh, reflects the local region and delicious), served by people who love the region and want to share with you, and a beautiful place - relaxed, uncrowded and stunnng.

He is a people person, connecting with the customers and staff with kindness and outstanding hospitality. He has already initiated programs to bring a sense of community to the venue and provide a wonderful service (and winter jobs) to locals during the quieter times. "
