After a two-year hiatus courtesy of the COVID pandemic, the Pearl Beach Food and Wine Fare will return on October 8.
Hosted by the Pearl Beach Progress Association, the event is now in its 15th year and always attracts large crowds who enjoy tasting and purchasing from a select range of boutique wines and gourmet foods.
“Some favourites return and exciting new exhibitors have joined with us presenting an eclectic selection of food products,” Association spokesperson, Lynne Lillico, said.
“We will be showcasing boutique wineries so this year promises to be the best ever – come along, celebrate and have some fun tasting and purchasing.
“Old Inn Road Vineyard and Millbrook Estate Winery are back this year offering a variety of wines to sample and purchase.
“We are delighted to also have award-winning Central Coast Fires Creek Botanical Winery with natural flavours of fruit and flowers captured in the wine.”
Lillico said popular food producers will showcase a range of fresh gourmet products including: award-winning Little Creek Cheese with an amazing selection to choose from; ever popular Crooked Creek’s savoury and sweet biscuits and homemade Christmas cakes and puddings; Hunter Olives with a variety of olives and processed products; and Sweet As Handmade Chocolates to tempt the taste buds.
This year, The Original Smoke & Spice Company will join the fun with everything from smoked salt seasoning to garlic bulbs, smoked nuts and a dried and smoked cocktail garnish range.
Also on board will be Soul Food Gluten Free, with jams, spreads and bread, Rigotoni For Toni, with great pasta; and Left Right Creatives, with delicious cakes.
Margin’s Mushrooms and Natural Hive Honey will be there with unique varieties of local products.
A Gourmet Hamper filled with produce and wine donated by exhibitors will be raffled with proceeds going towards maintenance and upkeep of the Memorial Hall.
The fare will be held from 10am-5pm on Saturday, October 8, at Pearl Beach Memorial Hall, 9 Diamond Rd.
Entry is free.
