Kingscote
Gutsy Kangaroo Island is a celebration of the Island's boldest flavours, makers and stories — and in winter, it comes into its own.
Held on various dates throughout June, July and August, the festival unfolds through a series of pop-up events from local chefs, producers and venues.
As the winds rise and the fires are lit, Gutsy invites you to experience the season at its richest: hearty plates, warming pours, and moments of connection that can only be found when things slow down.
This is Kangaroo Island at its most honest and most generous. Gutsy by nature. Bolder in winter.
