The annual spring festival
The Mintaro Progress Association is staging the 7th Clare Valley Festival of the Lamb 23 – 27 September 2026 which is the annual Clare Valley spring equinox festival combining the first buds of the vines and the premier time for new-season lamb that is lean, tender and ideal for a wide range of recipes.
A focus is on lamb and to be as ethical as possible in its preparation by having the restaurant / venue take a full lamb/s from the farmer which the chef will then utilising in consultation with a butcher and the farmer. Whilst the festival has a cultural focus with art and fashion exhibitions plus the wool and fibre market.
