Peppers Mineral Springs Retreat is located in and amongst scenic Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges.

The surroundings are serene, making it the perfect venue for a relaxing weekend away. 

In terms of foodie delights, the Argus Dining Room which is located within the grounds of Peppers Mineral Springs retreat boasts delicious Modern Australian fare with a focus on freshly sourced regional produce. 

I was fortunate enough to enjoy a lovely dinner catered by The Argus Dining Room at the Conservatory. 

Tartar of salmon, with olive and green apple 

Istra smoked ham hock, 63 degree egg and pea soup 

Wild Barramundi fillet, black bean, asparagus and hollandaise 

Birch Estate Lamb 2 ways, heirloom carrots, salted lemon and garlic 

Buttermilk, rhubarb, strawberries, cracked pepper

Honey poached pears, ginger bread, pollen, royal jelly and honeycomb 

The dining experience was very pleasant. Each dish showcased local produce that was executed very well. We were impressed by the good balance of flavours and nicely added textures that came with every course.
