Emerge - A French Provincial Style Long Table Dinner











We are so excited to be involved in this event -

French Inspired Dinner will ‘Emerge’ Guests from Winter into Spring



The winter hibernation period is nearly over and what better way to celebrate than with a French inspired long table dinner with two of the Great Southern’s most inspiring chefs.


Xavier Poupel (Terroir and Table) and Dan Sharp (Sharp Infusion) are joining forces to create a gastronomic extravaganza of French inspired fare. Matched with Oranje Tractor and Yilgarnia Wines, each course will use local Boatshed Market produce to create tastes to savour and enjoy.




‘We wanted to create an event with an intimate setting where the chefs can speak to the guests regarding the produce and traditional cooking techniques. I use a wood-fired oven and quality seasonal produce to create provincial style dishes of French origin which are extremely refined in taste.’ says Escoffier Trained chef Xavier.




Back from rubbing shoulders with the likes of Curtis Stone and Don Hancey, home grown celebrity chef Dan Sharp will be creating canapés with a French twist for the evening.
‘Spring produce in the Great Southern is some of the best in the country’, says Dan. ‘It is so easy to create fresh tasting and gorgeous looking dishes’.





There will be two open kitchens on display to view the talented workmanship of Dan and Xavier, with guests welcome to converse with the chefs.



The dinner will be held at The Boatshed, Princess Royal Drive, Albany from 6.30pm on Saturday September 10. Popular local act Crossbow will provide entertainment and local artwork will be on display for a visual feast.


Numbers are limited to 120. Advance purchase only.


‘Emerge’ Tix are $97.00 pp incl sparkling and oysters on arrival, canapés, dinner and dessert with one glass of wine per course; and a handcrafted chocolate from The Dark Side to finish. Wine will also be available for purchase.
