Food and wine events
Fancy sitting down to a scrumptious table lunch created by top Melbourne chefs? Game to try crocodile fillet tossed in a wok? Or is barrel racing and hunting for chocolate eggs more your style? You could even enjoy fine premium wines while watching a polo match in the grounds of a Victorian mansion.
From harvest picnics to the annual Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, Victoria is home to flavoursome food and wine events and festivals throughout the year.
