Over the last few months, we have had some great competitions running across Australia to win some very exciting truffle-tastic prizes! A huge congratulations to all our winners - we hope you all had a wonderful time.............
In conjunction with The Australian Newspaper, we ran a nation wide competition to win a trip to Perth to help us celebrate the Mundaring Truffle Festival.
A big congratulations to Helen and Richard Warn from Sydney who enjoyed flights to Perth courtesy of Qantas and enjoyed a stay at the Intercontinental Burswood Resort. We also provided them with transport to and from the festival thanks to our friends at Barbagallos. Helen and Richard enjoyed our Long Table Lunch and Masterclass with Alain Fabregues and had an exclusive sneek peek behind the scenes at Alains own restaurant, the Loosebox.
Their answer to why they deserve to win the trip:
Because we admire those whose skill and dedication growing truffles in areas starkly contrasting with ancient oak forests has enhanced the cause of ‘locally grown’.
In conjunction with our media partner at The West, we also ran a fabulous competition which included a group of four people enjoying our wonderful Long Table Lunch experience, a Masterclass with three of Australia’s top French chefs, accommodation at the Rose and Crown Hotel in Guildford and a private cookery session at Taste Budds cooking studio along with two copies of Chef Wan’s sold out cook book. A big congratulations to Vera and her friends who won this amazing experience!
If you attended the festival and entered our Pinctada Cable Beach Resort competition you could have won the following prize of a wonderful 4 day break in Broome.
The winner will get chance to pamper themselves at the world class day spa, featuring award-winning LI'TYA Spa Care from the Aboriginal Dreamtime and then relax at the tranquil spa courtyard and plunge pool. After the stress has melted away, they will indulge their senses with a meal at SELENE Brasserie. The menu, designed by Greg Malouf of MoMo, showcases the finest produce from the Kimberley.
Congratulations to the winner N Pollard who wins this luxury 4 night stay! For more details please visit http://www.pinctadacablebeach.com.au
