Attention chefs, cooks and hospitality professionals 📣

The Slow Food Chefs’ Alliance is a network of chefs defending food biodiversity across the world. It brings together chefs and hospitality staff from restaurants, bistros, wine bars and street stalls who support small producers, the custodians of biodiversity, each and every day by using local fruits, vegetables, ethically raised meat and seafood, in their kitchens. 🐌

Our next event for the Chefs' Alliance is a collaboration with The Dairy Duo and Alliance College - RTO 0137 🧀
Join us on the 3rd August for a fun night of learning, sharing and eating together.

View full event info and book online here: https://www.reillyswines.com.au/slow-food-snail-trail-long-lunch

📆 Saturday is now booked out for our Slow Food: Winter Snail Trail Long Lunch!

Reillys has always adopted the Slow Food movement with our Long Lunch Indulgence Experience - handcrafted local wine, honest food and a landscape that asks you to slow down... read the Slow Food philosophy below. 🐌🌱♻️

"Founded in 1989 by Italian journalist and environmental activist Carlo Petrini, Slow Food is a non-profit, grassroots organisation that aims to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how it tastes.

Members and supporters of Slow Food aim to create a world in which all people can access and enjoy food that is good for them, good for those who grow it, good for the surrounding community and good for our planet.

The Slow Food approach aims to preserve traditional foods and regional food cultures by supporting the production of food that is good, clean and fair.

✅ GOOD: quality, flavoursome and healthy food that satisfies the senses and is part of local culture
✅ CLEAN: production and consumption that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health
✅ FAIR: accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers"
