The Noosa International Food & Wine Festival kicks off today, with one of many highlights, and two of my favourite cooking personalities - The Cook, The Chef and The Orchestra Gala Concert from 5pm.

If you weren’t thinking of coming to Noosa this weekend, perhaps you should change your mind as big name chefs like David Thompson, Poh Ling Yeon, Ian Curley, Matt Preston and more will be in town. You’re likely to spot them as they soak up the Noosa atmosphere while they’re here.
Not to mention big name music entertainment acts like Sneaky Sound System and Anthony Callea.
I will be at the festival on Saturday to catch former Master Chef contestants Kate Bracks, Julie Goodwin and Adam Liaw’s “Dinner Party” and Alastair McLeod and Daniel Ridgeway’s Fusion – just to name a few!
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t booked for a degustation or food trail, because there is a load to do with the general admission to Lion’s Park – eat, drink, learn and be entertained!
Tickets for tonight cost $55, and include two food and wine tickets. Ticket prices for Friday, Saturday and Sunday are $65 and includes two food and wine tickets, children under $13 are $20 each day.
