Sovereign Hill’s Heritage Harvest Weekend is gearing up to be a culinary extravaganza, with renowned Australian chefs Julie Goodwin, Darren Purchese, and Tim Bone taking the spotlight. Set against the backdrop of the Goldfields, this event promises a fusion of traditional culinary practices with a contemporary twist, celebrating the rich tapestry of autumnal flavors.
From live demonstrations to Q&A sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with their culinary idols, moderated by Kara Monssen, food and wine editor of the Herald Sun. Moreover, visitors can look forward to personal interactions with the chefs, gaining insights into their craft and connecting with local producers.
This year, Sovereign Hill is breaking new ground by offering free cooking demonstrations—an exciting addition to the festival’s lineup. With over 30 vendors showcasing regional delicacies and artisans displaying their craft along Main Street, there’s something to tantalize every palate.
