Italian Harvest Feast
Long before tourism became the leading industry of the Port Douglas region, Sugar Cane was the backbone of the economy. The trade not only brought prosperity to the region but an Italian legacy that lives on today. Following World War 1, a wave of cane cutters arrived in the north seeking a better life in Australia. Today, many local growers and business owners in our community are third and fourth-generation descendants of these early enterprising Italians. Join us for the Carnivale edition of Sheraton’s ‘Italian Harvest Feast’ – a unique experience where guests come together over a thoughtfully prepared meal to celebrate the start of the Harvest Season and pay homage to the enterprising Italian cane cutters of days gone by. The delicious menu, inspired by stories of shared suppers and the smells of tomato sugo drifting from the cane cutter barracks on a Sunday, features seasonal produce from local farms in the region and is complimented by Italian wines.MENU
- Antipasto
- Golden oak tablelands mushroom risotto
- Porchetta, crispy potatoes, rosemary and parmesan
- Fennel, cabbage, gorgonzola salad
- Cannoli, Mungalli ricotta, orange, vanilla, chocolate and macadamias
