There is no easy way to write an article about the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival , which is an annual event that has been held for 20 years now. The reason is that although it is one festival, it encompasses a multitude of smaller events under the umbrella title.



The festival will be held from 27 February to 15 March 2015 at a variety of venues, ranging from top-notch restaurants to alleys and rooftops, and a lot more. Many of these events are free of cost, whereas others are ticketed. The events range from fine dining experiences and cooking classes to competitions, meetings and lectures with famous food and wine personalities. The diversity of the events is as rich as the ethnic variety in Melbourne. Studying the comprehensive calendar of all events is the best way to pick and choose which events your palate fancies the most, and then reserve a spot immediately, as some events are already sold out.

If you rather prefer the free events, then the weekend starting Friday 27 February to Sunday 1 March has a great line-up in the heart of the city:

Fedsquare Harvest will set up shop for two days i.e. Saturday and Sunday (12pm to 4pm) and present flavours from the restaurants along the banks of the Yarra River.

Open Kitchen at Queensbridge Square on Saturday 28 February and Sunday 1 March (12pm to 5pm) sounds delightful. Food Trucks, pop-up stalls, entertainment and fun activities will transform the square into one big extravaganze. The red stairs will host cooking demonstrations by the stars of SBS: Shane Delia and Poh Ling Yeow to name just two.

Across the street, the Crown Riverwalk will be hosting the Alfresco Kitchen starting on Friday 27 February through the weekend from 12pm to 9pm. Crown restaurants will set up shop along the walkways, and what better way to enjoy the delicacies than by the river.

Keep walking, and you will end up at the South Wharf Promenade where Grazing by the River is setting up camp on Saturday and Sunday (11am to 6pm). If you are into hawker style food, then this is where you want to be as delicacies from Japan, Thailand, Italy, Spain, Germany and even Australia will be on offer.

The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre is host to Truck Jam which will present the city's famous food/beverage trucks and delve into the street food arena.

This is a list of the free events on one specific weekend, but the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival is all about exploring the fantastic culinary delights this great city has to offer. So set off on an adventure and treat yourself to two weeks of indulgences.
