Coming to the stunning Central Park on Sunday, November 17, 2024, from 12 noon to 6 pm. This isn’t just any old gathering—it’s a gourmet gala that’ll have your senses singing. And guess what? Entry is absolutely free! Yes, you heard right. Free as a bird.
Set against the lush backdrop of Central Park, this festival is a tantalizing tapestry of the finest wines, scrumptious food, and toe-tapping tunes. Picture this: you, a glass of Victorian wine in one hand, a gourmet treat in the other, all while swaying to live pop-up musical performances. It’s not just a festival; it’s where your weekend dreams come to life.
Speaking of wines, prepare to be spoiled for choice. We’re talking about a lineup that reads like a who’s who of Victoria’s finest: Petronio Wines, Steels Gate Wines, Noble Red Wines, and so many more. Whether you’re a connoisseur or just love a good tipple, there’s something to suit every palate. And if wine isn’t your thing, don’t fret! Our local craft beer heroes, Hop Hen Brewing and Two Doors Brewing, along with top-notch distillers like Hobson Distillery, have got you covered.
Feeling peckish? The festival’s food scene is a smorgasbord of culinary delights. Dive into Bao Melbourne’s fluffy clouds of goodness, or spice things up with Spanish Paella. There’s sushi, arancini, dumplings, wood-fired pizza—it’s a food lover’s paradise. And for the sweet-toothed among us, ice cream from Luvlee and Jamm’d’s Danish dessert bar will be your just desserts.
The festival isn’t just about indulgence; it’s a celebration of community spirit too. Thanks to the proud support of Community Bank Malvern East and Murrumbeena, this event is a true embodiment of local love and support.
