The East Malvern Food & Wine Festival
Central Park plays host to 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 this weekend, a taste of it is set to descend on an inner-city patch of parkland for one big day of gustatory goodness. The East Malvern Food & Wine Festival returns for its fifth outing, taking over Central Park on Sunday, March 27.
Nab yourself a $20 entry ticket and head along to sample top local drops from producers including Innocent Bystander, Heathcote Winery and Wren Estate, before levelling up your knowledge at an expert masterclass by wine educator Nicole Gow.
You can mosey through the dedicated craft beer and cider zone, tasting sips from the likes of Deeds Brewing, Sip and Eddies Cider, 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 48h Pizza & Gnocchi Bar, The Smoke Pit, Pressed Waffle Bar and Nepal Dining.
Market stalls will be slinging an array of artisan goodies; including quality cheese and food products you can assemble for a lazy picnic in front of the live music stage. Elsewhere, swing by the prosecco and oyster stall for a luxe food pairing; taste some artisan spirits from labels like Brix Distillers and That Spirited Lot; and grab yourself one of Luvlee Gourmet's handmade ice creams.
