Kangaroo Island’s Gastronomo Enchanted Fig Tree experience takes alfresco dining up a notch, serving a multi-course menu amid the gnarled bowers of a 120-year-old “living venue”. On summery evenings (December-April), gather with other diners for cocktails and canapes at the shearing shed of a property near Snelling Beach. Then comes the main event: you’ll be ushered to tables that are surrounded by the illuminated canopy of a majestic fig tree to tuck into locally caught, farmed and foraged fare including, naturally, a figgy dessert.
