If dining on a five-star meal prepared by a celebrity chef is on your culinary bucket list, Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival can make your dream a reality.
The festival, which is Queensland’s biggest foodie celebration, is on August 23-25 at Woody Point’s Apex Park.
Renowned chef Matt Golinski will host two exquisite four-course degustation dinners (one on Friday night, the other on Saturday) at the festival’s The Lodge zone for a number of lucky guests to indulge in.
While he is keeping the menu under wraps for now, you can guarantee each dish will be a culinary masterpiece and feature an array of fresh produce from amazing vendors.
“I will be trying to get as many local producers as I can into each and every dish to show off the flavours of Moreton Bay,” Matt says.
“It’s my job as a chef to share the stories of the producers who work really hard to grow things for us to eat.”
The meal will be paired with a selection of award-winning wines from Robert Oatley Wines, who is a major sponsor of this year’s festival.
Their trio of labels include the maritime-influenced Signature Series, the specific vineyard-focused Finisterre, and the best of the best barrels under The Pennant.
Robert Oatley Wines was founded as a family winery in 2006 by the late Robert (Bob) Oatley AO BEM, who was a proud and passionate fifth-generation Aussie who took Australian wine to the world.
Bob established the now famous Hunter Valley-based Rosemount Estate, producing his first commercial vintages in the early 1970s.
During the ensuing three decades, his wines developed an impressive pedigree – gracing the world’s best wine lists and winning many of the highest accolades, while consistently topping sales in Australia, the UK and USA.
Queenslanders can indulge in exquisite food, tasty drinks, and stunning seaside views at the Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival, returning to Apex Park at Woody Point from August 23-25. The festival offers the chance to meet celebrity chefs, learn new recipes, enjoy an array of cuisine, stock up on local produce, enjoy live music, and spend quality time with family and friends.
The lineup of celebrity chefs includes Matt Golinski, Dominique Rizzo, and Alastair McLeod, among others. MasterChef Australia favorites such as Adam Liaw, Georgia Barnes, and Brent Draper will also make appearances. Additional cooking demonstrations will feature talents like Kim McCosker, Jo Whitton, Fiona Anchal, Aunty Dale Chapman, Kara Urbanska, and Ada Daher.
