Savour the Tweed will return to celebrate the culinary excellence of the region – but get in quick as some events have already sold out.
Organisers say that there will be more than 30 events, held over five days.
It is co-curated by Tweed-based chef and author, Christine Manfield and local food advocate, Amy Colli of Straight To The Source.
They say, ‘The inaugural event will spotlight local and visiting chefs, serving up menus inspired by locally grown and made foods, as well as the growing list of Tweed-made drinks’.
‘Fresh-grown goodness is on the menu and delicious times are guaranteed’.
They say, ‘We kick off browsing lush stalls of hand-picked seasonal fruits and vegetables’.
‘After grabbing a bite to eat in the sunshine and surrounded by mountains we collect our goods from the stall-holders – Shroom Brother, Cheeses Loves You and The Bakehouse of Tyalgum & Co.
‘The valley takes us to taste natural wines paired with antipasti, to roll fresh pasta on a regenerative farm at dusk, and to share stories by the fire under orchard lights’.
Both Christine and Amy say, ‘In the spirit of collaboration and connection, we have gathered together a thriving food community that is proudly committed to showcasing the excellence of the Tweed region while recognising the intrinsic value of connecting with community through food and drink, via grassroots events that highlight our strong and talented farming community as well as elevated dining experiences across some of the best restaurants in the state’.
‘The Savour program offers a range of events that articulate diversity and inclusion through storytelling, sharing the cultural heritage of our First Nations communities, establishing benchmarks of excellence and strengthening partnerships and relationships within the food and agricultural space.
‘We encourage every resident and visitor to actively engage with and support this exciting line up of events across the five day program, we look forward to you joining us for this immersive experience of flavour, fun and festivities.’
The event runs until October 26.
