🌾 The Riverina Good Food Weekend 🌾
Discover the best-kept culinary secret in NSW.
Behind every farm gate in the Riverina is a grower or maker with a story worth celebrating. The Riverina Good Food Weekend was born from local food lovers who wanted to share our abundant food bowl with the world. The idea? Invite a celebrity chef, create a weekend of food-filled experiences, and give locals the perfect excuse to bring city friends out for a magical country escape.
✨ The Inaugural Weekend launches with the Riverina Long Lunch – where fire meets food on a working family farm between Wagga and Junee. Celebrity chef Charly Pretet from Terra Firma will bring his flame-kissed magic to craft an unforgettable feast under endless skies, with golden canola fields setting the stage for nature’s very own dinner theatre.
🎶 Saturday’s Long Lunch is all about slow dining at its most genuine. Picture this: live music drifting across the paddocks while you sit elbow-to-elbow with the very farmers who grew your meal. Every dish tells a story, every view shifts with the light, and every moment is steeped in authenticity.
🚗 Sunday is for discovery with the Canola Trail x Growers Sunday Drive – part treasure hunt, part foodie adventure. Armed with a hand-drawn discovery map, you’ll uncover surprise pop-ups, secret farm gates, and hidden gems among the canola blooms. For those who want to get hands-on, Charly will also host an exclusive 6-hour Outdoor Cooking Workshop – a masterclass of French flair meets Aussie fire, proving why everything tastes better cooked outdoors.
🌟 This debut weekend is more than just incredible food. It’s a celebration of what makes the Riverina so special – its land, its people, and its generosity. Join us for the beginning of what promises to be the region’s most beloved foodie tradition.
