On 6 and 7 May, Yalumba will be converted into an exciting pop-up restaurant for Chin Chin Executive Chef Benjamin Cooper to share Chin Chin’s famous South East Asian cuisine alongside Yalumba Barossa wines.
In addition, Yalumba Clocktower lawns will be transformed into Chin Chin’s GoGo bar, where guests can settle in for an afternoon of street food, Barossa contemporary art, Barossa wine and culture over the weekend.
Yalumba’s sixth generation Jessica Hill-Smith is excited about Tasting Australia’s program for 2023.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with Tasting Australia again in 2023,” said Hill-Smith.
“To have the chance to experience some of Chin Chin’s famous dishes in the Barossa at Yalumba is a real treat for locals and those visiting the region.”
