ake a tour Down Under – no visa required.Both the largest island and smallest continent on the planet, Australia is home to a vibrant and sophisticated culinary and wine scene. Too vast to do it all justice, we'll focus on the South Australian triad - McLaren Vale, the Barossa Valley and the Claire Valley - a region inhabited by eucalyptus trees, wild fennel and wild olive trees, all of which have influenced the flavours of local food and wines. Facing the penguin infested Antarctic on one side, and one of the world's harshest deserts on the other, South Australian wineries have developed a reputation for boldness and quality.A big fan of the Australian food & wine scene, Chef/Sommelier Andrea Jefferson has created a fabulous tasting menu for the evening, for which she'll choose regionally expressive wines.Fresh Oysters with Shallot Verjuice
