THOUSANDS of locals, visitors, budding chefs, wine enthusiasts and producers from around the globe flocked to Noosa for the International Food and Wine Festival over the weekend.
Unlike last year, the sun shone on the festival village with only a sprinkling of rain on the Sunday that didn’t deter the crowds.
A host of events were offered this year, with something for every foodie’s taste from Asian inspired food trails to women’s networking lunches and a producer’s hall where locals and visitors could buy some of the world’s best products from cheese to caviar and everything in between.
Noosa Heads Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said event goers were well-behaved, with no major incidents reported during the four-day festival.
