Naturellement is a vibrant new two-day festival celebrating natural wine, seasonal food, culture, and regional creativity, taking place Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May 2025 at The Galleria, Ettalong Beach – just a short and scenic ferry ride from Pittwater.
The festival brings together 30+ of Australia’s most exciting natural winemakers, brewers, distillers, and artisan producers, alongside an incredible food lineup curated from some of NSW’s most respected chefs, blended with local Central Coast favourites.
It’s a first-of-its-kind premium food and drink event for the Central Coast – designed to not only celebrate our regional producers but also raise the profile of the Coast nationally. We're proud to be creating a platform that brings Sydney’s leading culinary names together with emerging local talent, bridging our communities across the water.
Pittwater Connection
We’re excited to have Matilda Brown and Scott Gooding — Pittwater locals and founders of The Good Farm Shop — headlining one of our key Groundswell Talks sessions on Sunday 18 May at 4.30pm (talks in detail can be found here and scroll down to Groundswell talks Series). They'll be speaking about regenerative farming, coastal living, and community resilience.
Matilda Brown and Scott Gooding state the Good Farm is about challenging the highly industrial, commoditised fast food industry, by making REAL food convenient.
''And we do it without compromising human health, land ecology and animal welfare.
Believe it or not, we started this business as a small cow share from our family-owned regenerative farm. A few years in, with a commitment to sustainable farming, a passion for healthy living, and encouragement from our customers who believe in what we're doing, The Good Farm Shop is a ready-meals company with a difference. Our promise is to always create REAL meals from ingredients that are good for you, and good for the planet.''
Transport has been made easy for Pittwater residents with return ferry tickets from Palm Beach to Ettalong for just $16.50, dropping guests a two-minute stroll from the venue.
