Sydney’s Italian Wine + Food Festival is back and more Italian than ever!
They say that the Italian’s do it better and we can’t help but agree. They’ve got the magnificent architecture and sites. They’ve got the gorgeous men with their enchanting accents. But upstaging all of that, they’ve got the wine and they’ve got the food. Make some room in your bellies because Sydney’s Italian Wine + Food Festival is back again for 2017 and is bigger and more Italian than ever.
So if you’d like to pasta time away Sunday August 27th, the Italian Wine + Food Festival is the place for you.
Sydney’s favourite Italian festival will be celebrating five years with a brand new venue at the Cutaway, Barangaroo. From the messy spaghetti loving kid to the well travelled wine connoisseur, all will be celebrating the famous cuisine under the one roof. Smell, touch, feel, talk and most importantly, taste over 200 of Italy’s finest wines.
