This Week, According To Rani...
Noosa's Most Delicious Weekend Is Back...
It’s that time of year again… and no, I’m not talking about winter. The Noosa Food & Wine Festival is back, bringing a weekend packed with incredible food, drinks, and entertainment to our little slice of paradise.
At the heart of the festival is the American Express Festival Village, where some of Australia's favourite food and beverage brands come together alongside Noosa's best craft breweries, distilleries, and local producers.
If a good cocktail is calling your name, you'll be able to sip, sample, and savour your way through an impressive line-up of Australian favourites, including Mojo Wines, Chandon, and Dal Zotto.
Feeling a little peckish after a few tastings? Wander over to the food trucks and market stalls serving everything from gourmet bites to festival classics, ensuring there's something to satisfy every craving.
For those who love to watch the magic happen in the kitchen, the live stage will host a series of culinary demonstrations, with talented chefs showcasing different cooking techniques, tips, and tricks. One of the biggest highlights will be a live cooking demonstration from Gino D'Acampo - which, for foodies like me, is a pretty big deal.
And if you're the type who never misses an episode of MasterChef, you'll want to catch the PorkStar Live Cooking Battle, where chefs go head-to-head in a fast-paced culinary showdown.
As the sun begins to set and the festival atmosphere shifts from relaxed to electric, the live stage will come alive with performances from DJ Minx and Raw Ordio, handing us the perfect soundtrack for an evening of dancing, drinks, and celebration.
Whether you're there for the food, the wine, the cooking inspiration, or the entertainment, the Noosa Food & Wine Festival promises a weekend filled with flavour, fun, and unforgettable moments.
Our Rec's For The Noosa Food & Wine Festival...
Layering is your best friend this weekend, with chilly temperatures and rain forecast across the festival.
Start with the Edie Shirt in Ivory/Black Stripe layered over a simple white tee, like the Raw Edge Baby T-Shirt. Pair it with the Panel Jean in Classic Wash for a comfortable festival look that won’t leave you freezing once the sun goes down. Finish with a pair of black boots sturdy enough for muddy grounds and comfortable enough to dance in long after the last set ends.
If stripes aren't your thing, opt for something a little more cool-girl. The Lace Baby Doll Tee in Black makes a statement on its own, but layering a simple black singlet underneath will help keep the cold out while adding a little extra coverage. Pair it with the Rhue Low Wide Jeans in Stream Mid Used for an effortless denim look, then throw on your favourite winter jacket to stay warm once the temperature drops. Finish it off with the Medium Nylon Crescent Bag in Western Appliqué for a subtle pop of personality and a touch of festival-ready cool.
With your outfit sorted, all that's left to do is enjoy the food, sip the wine and dance the night away, I know I will be.
