Overview
Hope you're feeling hungry, because Taste of Melbourne is back. One of the biggest, tastiest gastronomic events in town, this four-day foodie festival — which starts cooking on Thursday, November 30 — will once again welcome some of the biggest boffins in culinary culture to a brand new home: Yarra Park, right outside the MCG.
The year's program is positively bursting – just like you'll be by the time the final day of the festival rolls around. For starters, they're marking their tenth anniversary with a birthday bash featuring some notable culinary collabs and fine wine. There'll also be an after dark party in the park featuring sets by local bands and DJs.
Other standouts on the program include a make-your-own gin class with the team from Sydney's Archie Rose Distillery, and a series of Table Talks featuring a wide range of speakers from the food and beverage industry.
Punters will also get the chance to attend live demonstrations by some of Melbourne's top chefs, take part in hands-on cooking classes, and peruse what's on offer in the marketplace, featuring wares from dozens of local producers.
Taste of Melbourne runs from November 30 to December 3. Tickets go on sale in October. For more information visit melbourne.tastefestivals.com.
