2009 was a milestone year for ChillOut. All our photos available in our gallery – just click through to have a look.
The area around Daylesford is renowned for the fine quality of its food and wine, with many organic producers making their homes in the region, and there’s no lack of great places to eat.
This seasonal bounty translates into splendid fare at the hands of many talented local cooks, so you can expect to wine and dine very well. Fine dining can be had at Harvest 383 at the Novotel Forest Resort, the Lake House in Daylesford or just out of town at Sault Restaurant, at Sailors Falls, home to the near-famous 'ChillOut Slowest Lunch'.
Gourmet treats can be had at Cliffy’s Emporium a combined deli / café, so it’s up to you whether you eat right there or take your goodies home for later. If you want to feel especially virtuous while you eat or shop, then Harvest Organic Café will satisfy your inner greenie.
Wash all this magnificent food down with a locally made boutique drop from WINE is a 4 Letter Word.
If you want to entertain your outside as well as your insides, check out the Palais, home to many ChillOut events. Also in Hepburn Springs is Cosy Corner Cafe Restaurant - one of the longstanding icons in the region recently re-invented with new owners and a new fab menu.
If you prefer to dine in quieter surroundings, check out Frangos & Frangos for a cool laid-back atmosphere.
You'll find so much on offer you'll need more than one day to find your favourite food haunt. Come, explore and discover.
We invite you to make a visit to the businesses that support ChillOut.
