Relish Food & Wine Festival is back for 2021.
Fraser Coast Tourism & Events confirmed that after a covid-forced hiatus last year, there was a sense of excitement around the festival and chance to experience updated new trends, recipes and blends.
Held in the Mary River Parklands on Saturday, June, 5 festivalgoers are encouraged to indulge in food and beverage matching sessions, listen to leading foodies as they share the fruits of their labour, and learn from talented chefs who ensure the unmistakeable stamp of the region in every dish.
Along with amazing food and wine, attendees will be transported back to old Maryborough with lessons on high tea etiquette from Miss Etiquette, unforgettable stories of Bond Store’s past (heard while sipping a tipple of port) and behind the scenes access with Odyssey Bistro’s team, revealing the stories behind their food and drinks.
Numbers will be limited to ensure compliance with COVID-19 restrictions.
A livestream link will be posted on the council Facebook page on Monday.
