West Gippsland became the culinary stage for food and wine connoisseurs on the weekend with Melbourne Food and Wine Festival events in Warragul and Thorpdale.
Saturday morning's Warragul Farmers Market was the setting for a grazing brunch that showcased some of Gippsland's finest produce while a two day event at Thorpdale attracted hundreds of food lovers to The Village Feast.
While the rolling green hills of Thorpdale are known for its potato production, the small town was transformed into a culinary with exceptional one-off food offerings including a delicious array of Gippsland dairy, wines, beers, ciders and spirits and live music.
In Civic Park, Warragul, the Grazing Brunch was a sell out event for patrons who grazed their way through a range of local produce from croissants and breads, to local cheese, fruits, meats, eggs and Thorpdale onions.
