Les Chésselles - Good Wholesome French Country Cooking in the Yarra Valley
The Country Market at Mont De Lancey
Second Saturday of each month at Mont De Lancey
For one special Saturday each month, the Mont De Lancey market will provide a unique personal encounter with the makers and growers of quality regional products.
In a heritage setting which provides a true country market environment, the Mont De Lancey market will celebrate all things fresh! Held on the second Saturday of each month, Mont De Lancey brings together some of the best and most unusual produce and products available and allow visitors to chat with the growers, producers and winemakers.
The event is jointly created and presented by the custodians of Mont De Lancey and the Shire of Yarra Ranges. The property is a significant Victorian heritage location offering great historical interest in French settlement in and around the Wandin area as well as outstanding views of the surrounding orchard countryside and ranges along with the Yarra Valley.
More then just a market, this day offers an opportunity to explore the magnificent gardens, the original homestead and the fantastic outbuildings on the property, while a French café resturant offers a gourmet breakfast/lunch to enhance the experience. Along with a delicious patisserie ( all products made on the premises.)
With three fabulous gourmet product ranges most of the fruit has been picked from Mont de Lanceys very old fruit trees. Helleren Hill gourmet Products... Les Chésselles range... and the new french range LA collection AMITIE... Recipes discovered on Chris Helleren's trip to Provincial France last September.
And theres more! Chris also runs the CHEESE stall at the market when the market is over, you can still purchase all of these wonderful GIPPSLAND cheeses... JINDI..TOP PADDOCK... MAFFRA... TARAGO at the restaurant...
Admission fee is a gold coin per person (children free) which will be used to ensure the preservation of this historical property which is a community based project.
