Melbourne Food and Wine Festival
Headed Down Under next month? Schedule in a stop at the annual Food and Wine Festival in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Running from March 2 through 21, 2012, this foodie fest is a cornucopia of tasty delights, from cooking demonstrations and master classes to street meals and a kid-friendly family foodie weekend.
There are 80 events that are priced under $50 (yes, you can browse by price). All told, there are 300 different events during the foodie fest.
Your Road Trips Foodie knows how great it is, because she was there for part of the festival in 2005. Her favorite part? The World’s Longest Lunch! This year’s version takes place March 2 at 30 different locations throughout Victoria — and, yes, you’re too late to get a ticket for 2012!
Remember that the seasons are opposite in the Southern Hemisphere. That means they’re celebrating the arrival of autumn during the festival.
