Eat Drink Westside has been showcasing venues across the west and delighting tastebuds since 2016.
The Eat Drink Westside program, a delicious collaboration between six Melbourne western councils, Western Melbourne Tourism, and the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, continued to spice things up in March 2024. 46 venues participated, offering a mouthwatering array of experiences. From wineries and international flavors to cannoli masterclasses and honey tasting, there was something to tempt every palate.
The popular Westside Wanders program returned, guiding participants on curated culinary journeys through twelve diverse neighborhoods. Each Wander offered an entertaining and immersive experience, stopping at 3-4 venues for delicious bites and drinks.
Complementing the Wanders, the MFWF Special Events program showcased the region’s culinary diversity with unique events like the Shadowfax Winemaker Experience and the “Italo Victorians Do It Better” pizza workshop.
Despite challenges facing the hospitality sector, Eat Drink Westside continues to thrive. With strong ticket sales and sold-out events, the program plays a vital role in supporting and celebrating the west’s ever-evolving food culture.
Built off the back of a highly successful event in 2023. We have curated a visual feast of images and videos that provide a glimpse into the program.
