The Urban Coffee Farm and Brew Bar – Melbourne Food and Wine Festival
Coffee and cocktails come together for two sweet weeks.
Overview
Coffee and cocktails, Melbourne is known for both, so it makes sense that this year’s Melbourne Food and Wine Festival pop up the Urban Coffee Farm & Brew Bar is all about showcasing the best caffeinated drinks Melbourne has to offer.
Over the two weeks of the festival, Queensbridge Square, where those giant red steps are at Southbank, has been turned into an outdoor cafe during the day, and a cocktail bar at night. Each morning a different cafe will take to the machines, while a different bar each night will whip up coffee inspired cocktails. During the morning you'll see the likes of Seven Seeds, Auction Rooms, 5 Senses and St Ali, while the night shift will be seeing Lily Blacks, Lui Bar, The Kodiak Club and rounding off with Eau de Vie. Expect anything from a chocolate pour over pretty much the best iced coffee going round to an espresso martini with a freeze-dried top you need a spoon to crack through. Wine, beer and snacks for all times of the day will be there to balance out the caffeine.
There will also be coffee workshops running each day for those who want to learn a little more about the wonderful brew. These include 'Around the World in Eight Coffees' with the team from Auction Rooms and 'Is Coffee a Mugs Game?' with the De Clieu team.
It's a lot of the good things about Melbourne, popped up with a cool set up, some beautiful greenery and by the looks of it, some hot weather. For the next two weeks, too much coffee is just not enough.
