August brings a month-long culinary festival to the Fleurieu Peninsula
Fleurieu Food Festival returns for a third year running in 2024, bringing an influx of tourists to enjoy over 50 culinary events that showcase the variety of food and beverage producers and businesses across the region.
Presented by Fleurieu Food, the program includes masterclasses, tastings, feasts and more, showcasing the breadth and depth of the Fleurieu Peninsula’s world-class food and beverage producers.
The festival offers small businesses and producers, such as local farms, cafes, restaurants, wineries, breweries, distilleries, and community spaces, the opportunity to offer premium experiences and connect with local, national, and international tourists.
Some of the program highlights include Candyland – The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at Bec Hardy Wines, where Chef Connor Bishop will take guests on a journey of decadent sweet treats.
