East Malvern Food & Wine Festival
Central Park is hosting this annual one-day celebration of great local food, wine and tunes.
Overview
This state of ours boasts some top-notch wining and dining — and on Sunday, November 17, a taste of it is set to descend on an inner-city patch of parkland for one big day of gustatory goodness. That's when the East Malvern Food & Wine Festival returns for its seventh outing, taking over Central Park once again.
Head in for free, or nab yourself a $37.50 ticket that gives you a branded glass and five tasting tickets — so you can sample top local drops from producers including Sutherland Estate, Noble Red Wines and Wolf & Co.
You can mosey through the dedicated craft beer zone, tasting sips from the likes of Hop Hen Brewing and Grand Ridge Brewery, and stocking up on your favourites as you go. And once you've worked up an appetite, hit up the abundant food offering courtesy of vendors like Bao Melbourne, Nepal Dining, Flaming Skewers and Solo Arancini.
Market stalls will be slinging an array of artisanal goodies, including quality cheese and food products, which you can assemble for a lazy picnic in front of the live music stage.
Elsewhere, swing by the chablis and oyster bar for a luxe food pairing; taste spirits from labels like Hobson Distillery, Original Spirit Co and Gippsland Distillery; and grab yourself one of Luvlee's handmade ice creams.
