The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival (MFWF) is coming to Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay as part of the Eat Drink Westside program.

Running from Monday, March 24 to Tuesday, April 2, Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay events include A Williamstown Wander at Porters in Williamstown on Tuesday, March 28, Footscray warehouse The Line hosting a seafood boil on Sunday, March 26 and Victoria Hotel in Footscray serving up non-alcoholic beverages on Wednesday, March 29.

Food + Drink Victoria chief executive Anthea Loucas Bosha said this year’s program covers a range of cuisines across a wide range of venues.

“We are thrilled to be back after an incredible 30th anniversary year,” she said.

“Our 2023 program highlights the extraordinary food and drink experiences that make Melbourne so special, from the World’s Longest Lunch and Brunch which both sold out in record time late last year, to our celebration of Melbourne’s bakers and pâtissiers at our festival home, Fed Square, and of course international chefs collaborating with some of our very best venues.”

Tourism and Major Events Minister Steve Dimopoulos said the festival will showcase the state’s top culinary talent.

“Victoria is well known as a vibrant dining destination that offers some of the best culinary experiences in Australia and the world,” he said.

Victoria’s tourism and major events company Visit Victoria is supporting the festival.
