Iconic Melbourne restaurant Stokehouse staff visited four local producers - including Beechworth Honey - on a day-long road trip.
Stokehouse senior sous chef Mark Wong, sommelier Gavin Cremming and a team of staff met North East producers to select key ingredients for a dinner at the St Kilda restaurant on Thursday, July 18.
The High Country road trip visited Myrrhee Premium Boer Goats, King Valley Walnut Farm and Tolpuddle Cheese as well as Beechworth Honey.
Wong said the experience had been fruitful.
"It's always incredible to get out to the producers on the farms and away from the city grind," he said.
"It was great to meet people really passionate about their products and all with an interesting story.
"We'll be featuring items on the menu from the four producers we visited."
