Rare Foods Australia

 
Visitors can taste some of the best the South-West has to offer, including highly sought-after greenlip abalone from the world’s only fishery of its kind certified as sustainable by the international Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). 

While at the Ocean Pantry guests can also discover the fascinating story behind Rare Foods Australia’s unique abalone ranching innovation. Started as a passion project, the innovation currently supplies about 20% of the world’s premium greenlip abalone. It also won Rare Foods Australia’s founder Brad Adams MSC’s internationally recognised Sustainability Hero award in 2023. 

The Augusta-based business is now branching out from the abalone ranch with its latest exciting initiative - ocean cellared wine. 

After successful trials over three years, Rare Foods Australia is offering premium Margaret River wine aged by the gentle currents of Flinders Bay, along with its constant levels of low light and temperature, and consistent pressure. 

The hand-packaged bottles of sparkling wine, chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon each come with their own individual “ocean signature” that hint at the wine’s captivating sunken treasure back story. 

Rare Foods Australia has other premium food and wine initiatives under way so it’s always worth taking the trip down Leeuwin Road for a barista-made coffee, locally made baked treats and discovering what else is behind the Ocean Pantry doors.
