MELBOURNE’S PREMIERE FOOD & WINE EVENT RETURNS FOR 2009
Following last year’s record debut and a successful Sydney season in March, Taste of Melbourne returns to Carlton’s Royal Exhibition building this August 27-30.
The unique four day event allows diners to sample signature dishes from the city’s best hatted restaurants, prepared by your favourite chefs, all under one roof. Already confirmed for this year’s event are Jacques Reymond, MoVida, The Press Club, Hellenic Republic, Maha Bar & Grill, Circa the Prince, Fifteen, The Botanical, Nobu, the brassiere by Phillipe Mouchel, Verge, Oyster Little Bourke, The Court House, The Boathouse and Silks.
Add to this Victoria’s leading produce suppliers and purveyors of all things excellent, the Australian Gourmet Traveller Taste Kitchen, where chefs reveal their trade secrets as well as the Gourmet Traveller Wine Theatre, hosted by experts imparting information for both the beginner and the connoisseur and you have a unique and all encompassing gastronomic extravaganza.
Purchasing food and wine at Taste of Melbourne is incredibly simple, with the use of a specially created currency – the Crown (1 Crown = $1). The cost of dishes vary from 8 to 14 Crowns. The process is as simple as passing over the required number of Crowns for the selected dish.
In the midst of Melbourne’s winter, the Royal Exhibition Building is transformed into a culinary haven with an abundance of warm, inviting dining areas available to savour the tastes of the city’s vast dining scene.
