Hot produce will featue at Tastes of Gold Coast

For the first time ever at Tastes of Gold Coast, foodies can explore the exotic taste sensations from around the world with over 30 multi-cultural food events boasting the region’s diversity of flavours.

“The 2009 program truly offers something for everyone as we bring together producers, chefs, winemakers and restaurateurs in a program of culinary events celebrating the region,” said Festival organiser Wendy Lacey. 

The city’s chefs are working in collaboration with the region’s leading producers to create 31 culinary events featuring produce driven menus at lavish banquets, and luncheons, progressive hinterland tastings, Celebrity Chef dinner and cooking class with renowned interstate Chef Michael Moore, soulful jazz and entertainment and much, much more.

Locally produced wines and beers will be the star attractions at the majority of this year’s events.
