Celebration on everyone’s lips

THE world-famous International Food and Wine Festival is only weeks away, and this year food producers will be celebrated for helping make the Australian culinary scene so amazing.
The quiet achievers supplying the produce that allows our chefs to shine will now be in the limelight when the NIFW Festival celebrates the true celebrities of the Aussie food culture.
The NIFW festival will bring the nation’s top producers to the international stage during the festival that will run from 14-17 May, connecting the world’s best chefs directly with the producers as well as celebrate the amazing produce with festival-goers.
The Produce Awards are now in its tenth year and seek to unearth Australia’s best produce and highlight the real food heroes, the small artisan producers around the country.
Produce Awards winners and finalists are brought together for four days of food, wine, music and fun at the NIFW festival.
Only in Noosa can you experience the nation’s premier food, wine and lifestyle event set against the stunning backdrop of Noosa Heads.
Festival goers can walk to most events from the Festival Village, not to mention the local highlights of Noosa Main Beach, Noosa National Park, and the famous Hastings Street.
The Noosa International Food & Wine Festival is supported by Tourism and Events Queensland as part of a dynamic calendar of events throughout the state.
