At Rural Table, everything begins with the land and the people who grow, make and create. We bring together the best local cheese, charcuterie and seasonal produce and turn it into something special to share.
Our grazing boxes, boards and tables are designed to feel abundant yet thoughtful, rustic yet refined. Each one is prepared with care, using the freshest ingredients and a presentation style that makes every occasion memorable.
The food is at the heart of every experience we create. We work with producers across the Yarra Valley and the wider Australian countryside, celebrating their craft and bringing luxury, flavour and comfort to every gathering, whether it takes place indoors or out under the open sky.
Rooted in a love for food and shaped by generations of European family cooks and butchers, Rural Table is my way of celebrating the simple joy of sharing. With a passion for cheese, grazing and seasonal produce, I bring together the finest local ingredients to create boxes, boards and spreads that feel abundant, comforting and beautifully refined.
At Rural Table, it is all about the details - pairing artisan cheeses with charcuterie, fresh produce, and styling them in a way that transforms any table into an experience. Whether it is a picnic in the park, a gathering at home, or a corporate event, every order is designed to be unique, flavourful and memorable.
Rural Table is more than just food. It is about celebrating Australian producers, showcasing local flavour, and creating moments that bring people together.
At Rural Table, everything begins here.In the rolling hills, cool mornings and rich farmland of the Yarra Valley.
This region is more than just our location. It is our inspiration, our pantry and the heart of everything we create.
From handcrafted cheeses to small batch charcuterie, seasonal fruit to artisan accompaniments, we believe the best food stories start close to home. When you choose local produce, you taste more than flavour. You taste care, craftsmanship and community.
This blog marks the first chapter in our monthly journal, where we share what inspires us, what we are sourcing and why gathering around food will always matter.
Local Produce at the Heart of Everything
Supporting local is not a trend for us. It is the foundation of our business.
We carefully select produce that reflects the seasons and highlights the best of our region. This means our menus evolve naturally throughout the year, just as they should.
By working with local suppliers, we are able to offer:
Fresher ingredients with exceptional flavour
Small batch products made with intention
Reduced food miles and sustainable practices
Unique items you simply will not find on supermarket shelves
Every ingredient earns its place on the table.
Cheese and Charcuterie: Crafted, Not Manufactured
Cheese and charcuterie are at the soul of Rural Table.
We are passionate about showcasing both Australian producers and carefully selected international classics that complement one another beautifully.
From creamy bries and aged cheddars to washed rinds, blues and delicate fresh cheeses, each selection is chosen for balance, texture and flavour pairing.
Our charcuterie follows the same philosophy. Traditional curing methods, clean ingredients and bold but refined flavour profiles.
Together, they create grazing that feels generous, indulgent and timeless.
Not over styled. Not overcomplicated. Just exceptionally good food.
Why We Gather
Food has always been about more than eating.
It is about slowing down. Sitting closer. Pouring another glass. Telling stories that start with “remember when”.
In a world that moves quickly, gathering around a table brings people back together in the most natural way possible.
At Rural Table, our sole purpose is simple.
To bring people together.
Whether it is a picnic in the park, an office celebration, a family milestone or an intimate dinner at home, we believe shared food creates shared moments. Moments that turn into memories.
That is what we love most about what we do.
More Than Catering. More Than Boxes.
Rural Table is not just about cheese and charcuterie.
It is about creating experiences that feel thoughtful, warm and beautifully effortless.
From ready to eat grazing delivered across Melbourne to gift boxes shipped nationwide, every order is prepared with the same intention.
Food that looks beautiful.Food that tastes incredible.Food that invites people to pause and connect.
