From distilled botanical spirits to farm fresh produce to a fusion of native ingredients. Talented chefs will curate menus that represent the authentic nature and tastes of the Tweed.

The 10-day event launches at Minjungbal Aboriginal Museum, with authentic storytelling, bush tucker walk and a tasting menu threaded with native ingredients – a collaboration Tweed Artisan Collective are proud to be a part of.

Signature events will pop up at venues such as Halcyon House, Husk Distillery, Tropical Fruit World, Potager, Mavis’s Kitchen, Taverna, Apex Dining and Lolita’s plus a whole lot more.

Hosted by the Tweed Artisan Collective, Destination Tweed, the Tweed Artisan Food Festival held from 21-30 October.
