21 – 30 Mar

Melbourne Food and Wine Festival

The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival brings a 10-day feast with the best of the best from Australia and the world direct to your lips.

Curtis Stone returns from the city of angels and is taking the reins of the World's Longest Lunch, and much-loved Julia Busuttil Nishimura is bringing her brand of Maltese home-style cooking to the Royal Botanic Gardens for a walking tour like no other for the World's Longest Brunch.

This year’s Global Dining Series is a roll-call of the world’s hottest kitchen sparks. There are also over 170 top-flight food parties confirming the city’s reputation for drinking and dining excellence across the Special Events program. And then there’s the walk-up deliciousness to be discovered at Fed Square, the festival hub for the third year.
