The Little Food Market is back for its second year.

Taste and shop your way through more than 200 of Australia’s top food and drink makers — from artisan cheese and small-batch spirits to cool-climate wines, bold condiments and sweet treats.

With live demos on The Chef’s Hat Stage, a brand-new cheese precinct, and expanded regional showcases, it’s a flavour-packed weekend not to be missed.
