Gill Estate Showcased in Singapore
We’ve just landed back from a whirlwind trip to Singapore! We were lucky enough to work alongside Little Farms and host The Harvest Table, a three-day event at two of the Little Farms venues including two 5-course dinners and a BBQ.
Little Farms is a local neighbourhood market, specialising in the highest quality and freshest all-natural and organic produce, meats, seafood, dairy and groceries. They have a Cafe and Bistro that prepare healthy and delicious meals using this produce, and an array of beverages, while their baristas serve up some of the best coffee and tea in Singapore.
Our collaboration with Little Farms included our good friend, Chef Silvano D'Alessandro from Steampunk Espresso Bar & Cucinetta in Mildura. If you’re a Mildura local, you’ll be familiar with Silvanos’ delicious creations, if you’re not; make sure you drop in and say hello to Silvano next time you’re in the area. He started Steampunk back in 2016, a specialist espresso bar & café and hosts the most incredible pop-up secret dinner events.
Janel, our Senior Winemaker flew over to showcase and to work with Silvano at the dinners and BBQ to talk about all things Gill Estate Rivah Wines, sharing wines perfectly matched to the cuisine. The first two nights of The Harvest Table were 5-course dinners paired with all 5 Rivah wines, very successful sold-out events.

Janel also hosted wine tastings In store across Little farms during the day prior and post dinner events to visitors and tourist from all over the world.
We’re thrilled that our wines continue to be available to purchase in Singapore, so if you’re travelling to Singapore or perhaps a local, make sure you check out the Little Farms markets and savour Sunraysia with the Rivah range.
