For one glorious weekend next month, Noosa will turn into a foodie paradise when some of our state’s finest culinary talent comes together for the special autumn edition of Noosa Eat & Drink Festival. The jam-packed program will see some of Noosa’s top-tier restaurants host world-class chefs, delicious local produce, interactive masterclasses and live entertainment. The incomparable flavours of our sunshine state will be spotlighted in a sparkling series of events, including the Queensland Heritage Dinner and A Celebration of Queensland, which will see homegrown culinary heroes treat hungry folk to a starry wining and dining experience.

To get your dose of international flavours, make tracks to Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar to sample Mediterranean-inspired fare at the A Day on The Riviera event or for a truly sumptuous and sipping session, head to Frenchies Brasserie for the Craggy Range & Taittinger Champagne Lunch. While away an afternoon with cocktails and seafood at the La Vida Lunch Experience or if that’s not enough action, there are also paella fiestas, culinary trips to Tasmania, bottomless lunches, espresso martini masterclasses and rail trails full of cheese and wine.

This is just a taste of what’s on at Noosa Eat & Drink’s Autumn Fare. To register for tickets and to peep the full festival schedule, visit the festival website.
