The Noosa Cup Day, hosted by Noosa charity Noosa Chances will enjoy a taste of the Noosa Eat & Drink experience, with local celebrity chef Matt Golinski creating and producing the three course lunch, highlighting Noosa’s local produce.
Supported by Tourism Noosa to showcase the local food tourism industry, the day is a true celebration of community being a collaboration between Noosa Chances, Tourism Noosa, the Noosa Eat & Drink Festival, Noosa Alive and Matt Golinski.
Food Tourism Manager Lee Huber said, “With the Noosa Eat & Drink Festival evolving, we are excited to collaborate with local charity Noosa Chances on this special day, raising funds for Noosa’s talented and inspiring young people.”
“Our focus is very much about supporting our local food tourism industry and continuing the Noosa Eat & Drink Experience in unique ways.
“When Noosa Chances told us about this day, it was an obvious choice for us to reach out to Matt to get his involvement which he happily accepted.
“Matt is a wonderful ambassador for Noosa’s food tourism scene and will curate a menu for 200 guests showcasing the best of Noosa’s local produce.
“Matt has also kindly offered for some of the students supported by Noosa Chances, to get involved and work with him in the kitchen on the day,” Ms Huber said.
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, who is taking part on the day as a panellist with winning jockey, Damian Browne, Co-owner of the 2019 Melbourne Cup winner Vow and Declare, Anthony Lanskey and Trainer and tipster Joe Cleary and interviewed by Bart Sinclair OAM, is looking forward to the day.
“The Noosa Cup Day will be a great day raising valuable funds for Noosa’s young people and I am thrilled to be involved in the day,” Ms Stewart said.
Noosa Chances CEO Tara Bell said, “Noosa locals and visitors alike love the Noosa Eat & Drink Festival and with COVID challenges and the festival changing to smaller events, we are thrilled that Tourism Noosa is collaborating with us on this fundraising event.”
“The addition of Matt Golinski to our line-up for the day will put Noosa’s dining scene in the spotlight and provide a great taste of the Noosa Eat & Drink Festival experience,” Ms Bell said.
