Sarah Watson is the Heston Blumenthal of Bundaberg Rum. The brains behind the premier golden liquids taking the world by storm, from a Masters degree in science to crafting rums that have collected international accolades like the World Rum Awards Best Dark Rum 2017, World's Best Gold Rum 2016 and San Francisco Spirit Competition Gold Medal 2017, she wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
When love brought acclaimed Gold Coast chef Alex to sweetheart Jen's home town of Bundaberg, it seemed only natural that they take their shared love for entertaining and combine it with the abundant regional produce on offer, creating a space, now endearingly known as 'Water Street Kitchen', to share and celebrate incredible food and wine.
The story behind Mary and Terry's Hill of Promise Winery is much more than just the dream to make wine, but a reminder of a grandfather's legacy to his grandson.
Bundaberg North Burnett is one of the largest fresh produce rich regions in Queensland. It's for that reason that the area is sometimes referred to as Australia's tastiest food bowl - or as us locals call it the 'Bundaberg Bowl', growing and producing fresh food that is served on tables right across the county and internationally.
