The market style food feast will see food lovers indulge in the signature dishes from Melbourne favourites Gelato Messina, Wonderbao, Hoy Pinoy and Mr Miyagi.
In 2017 Coonawarra winery Brand’s Laira will host a pop-up cellar door for a South Australian fix. The Beautiful Truth Night Terrace will be hosting a beer matching session. Pimm’s will also be on tap in the Garden Bar.
