South Australia / 01-05 Oct 2009 / Barossa Slow: traditions and transitions in the Barossa Valley / Slow Food Adelaide and Barossa convivium’s international Slow Food event. The Barossa has long been known as a food haven, a place where the evolution of the ‘waste not want not’ principle has simmered into an industry in its own right. With 2009 Barossa Slow highlighting the traditions and transitions of our food culture, visitors to the region have a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the very heart of these customs, to meet the makers and savour the exciting elements contributed by insightful newcomers. The current custodians of the Barossa culture acknowledge the rich history of tradition, stemming from European settlers finding their way in an unfamiliar land and resulting in a melting pot of delicious food styles. This exciting but intimate event is lead by the very people who hold these traditions dear, knowing it will feed the souls of passionate cooks and those interested in the paddock to table lineage. We invite you to immerse yourself in Barossa Slow, a movement that started in Italy but typifi es how we do things – slowly but surely, lovingly and carefully.  It’s about mixing tradition with the now, progressing but withholding, being commercially viable but maintaining integrity. Bringing it back, moving it forward.  Keeping it real.  Slowing us down. Come and join our table / Barossa Slow programme PDF or E adelaidebarossa.sa@slowfoodaustralia.com.au
