One Night. One Chef. One Chance: Join Dan Arnold for Michelin-Inspired Dining

For one unforgettable evening, Brisbane will play host to a dining event that is set to capture the imagination of food lovers across Australia.

Culinary Masters 2025 brings acclaimed chef Dan Arnold into the spotlight, offering guests a rare opportunity to experience his Michelin-inspired cuisine in an intimate and immersive setting.

The event, presented by Robb Report Australia & New Zealand, will take place on Thursday, October 2, from 6:30pm to 10pm at Arnold’s renowned Restaurant Dan in Fortitude Valley.

Known for its refined approach that blends modern Australian produce with French precision, the restaurant has become a must-visit destination for gourmands seeking a truly elevated dining experience.

What sets this night apart is not only the menu, but the chance to go behind the curtain of Arnold’s creative process.

Each dish will come alive as the chef himself reveals the inspiration, the history and the techniques behind it.

Guests will discover the stories that have shaped his culinary journey, from training in Europe’s Michelin-starred kitchens to establishing one of Australia’s most celebrated restaurants.

The menu will showcase seasonal produce sourced from boutique local farms, with every course carefully designed to highlight the ingredients at their peak.

Rare wine and whiskey pairings, curated specifically for the event, will elevate the dishes further, creating combinations that surprise and delight.

This is not simply a dinner. It is a masterclass in flavour, craft and storytelling. An evening where food is not just eaten, but experienced. A night where the chef’s personal philosophy and artistry unfold at the table.

Culinary Masters is designed for those who crave more than just a meal; it is for anyone who wants to understand the secrets of one of Australia’s most talked-about chefs, and to savour dishes that reflect both global influence and local character.

Seats are strictly limited, ensuring an atmosphere of intimacy and exclusivity. For food lovers, it represents exactly what the headline promises: one night, one chef, one chance to experience something extraordinary.

Bookings are essential, and with numbers capped, this exclusive evening is expected to sell out quickly. Book your ticket here.

When an estate has been carefully curated by its wealthy owners for more than a decade, the next custodian knows they’re in for a treat of a retreat.

Food-packaging entrepreneur Ted Nathan and his wife, Jenny, purchased the original 25ha Ravensdale Farm in Yarramalong Valley for $1.35 million 12 years ago according to title records.

Since then, the pair have reportedly invested more than $5.5 million to acquire several neighbouring parcels in order to create a contemporary compound now measuring more than 49ha.

Today’s Ravensdale Farm and Retreat, about 24kms from Wyong, is now a dual-estate 12-bedroom, 11-bathroom luxury landholding.

The property is expected to sell for about $30 million via an expressions of interest campaign with Cullen & Royle agents Deborah Cullen and Richard Royle.

Alongside the modern three-storey five-bedroom farmhouse, there is a long list of “must have” resort-style amenities and productive farmland primed to produce a passive income.

Framed by a 4m wraparound veranda, the sophisticated main residence has several outdoor spaces for homeowners and their guests to soak up the bucolic backdrop, lush paddocks and established gardens.

Inside, the homestead features multiple living spaces for grand scale entertaining inside and out, a library, a home office, private cinema, games room and accommodation designed for large families or a steady stream of weekend guests.

Custom made for hosting year round, the expansive estate also includes a sports bar with a commercial-grade kitchen, a championship size tennis court which can be transformed into an alfresco cinema when the mood strikes.

Additional spaces designed for fun include a sunken fire pit, a hidden garden with a European-inspired pétanque court, a pickle ball court and a private paddock dedicated to major events and functions.

There is also a separate second residence, Ravensdale Retreat, devoted to guest stays or potential short-term accommodation.

The bonus residence is set up to provide a fully self-contained experience outside of the main home when needed. It has a choice of bedrooms, a spacious living area, an outdoor pavilion, pizza deck, and its own pool.

Beyond its weekender credentials, Ravensdale Farm lives up to its name. A working farm, the estate has cattle infrastructure, fertile pastures featuring Kikuyu and Rhodes grasses complemented by high end irrigation and water systems, as well as land management systems designed for efficiency and long-term resilience.

The land can comfortably support cattle and horses – currently home to approximately 40 cows and calves, plus horses – and has productive fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, a chicken coop and a restored century-old barn.

Surrounded by the rolling green hills of the Yarramalong Valley, Ravensdale Farm and Retreat is approximately a 25-minute drive from Wyong and around 90 minutes from Sydney with coastal hotspots like Terrigal and The Entrance are within easy reach.

Ravensdale Farm and Retreat is on the market with a price guide of $30m via an expressions of interest campaign with Cullen Royle.
