At The Grande Hotel we invite our guests to experience the flavours and textures of the Mediterranean and produce menus and products that are reminiscent of the Art Deco era of the 30's and 40's. We pride ourselves in producing our all our preserves, sauces and chutneys onsite using, where possible, the best local produce from the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region.
In 2008 we began producing EXOTICS, a range of house-made products so that lovers of our food could enjoy the mouthwatering flavours and textures at home.
The Grande Shop stocks EXOTICS which includes a range of delicious preserves, spices and other specialty items.
Individual product, bulk orders and Exotics Gift Packages are available upon request.

APRICOT CHUTNEY
Spicy, sweet and one of the most versatile accompaniments in our chutney range. Use with cheese and biscuits, cured meats and with spicy indian dishes.
