WELCOME TO THE BENDIGO OLIVE & FOOD FIESTA!!

A Mediterranean atmosphere comes to the historic Bendigo Pottery again with the third annual Bendigo Olive and Food Fiesta. The event will be held on Sunday 14 March from 10am to 4pm and it is part of the hugely popular Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

The day will be jam-packed with fun for the whole family. Sample olives, olive oil and other olive products, taste local wines and enjoy a variety of Mediterranean foods.

Join a workshop and find out how to grow, prune, cook and pickle your own olives. Test your skill at the bocce competition or pick up some culinary ideas at the celebrity cook-off where well-known identities aim to create a dish featuring olives!

Live entertainment is set to bring the event alive with Hot ‘B’ Hines jazz band, New Exchange performing Italian folk and modern music, Flamenco dancers and a local Filipino choir. For the kids there will be a bouncing castle and face painting.

The Bendigo Olive and Food Fiesta is an event that celebrates Victoria’semerging Olive Industry. It also recognises the Bendigo region’s warm, dry summers and cool winters - the basis for ideal growing conditions that mimic the famous Mediterranean climate.

Experience a taste of the Mediterranean by visiting the stunning grounds of the Bendigo Pottery to celebrate the Bendigo Olive and Food Fiesta.

Bendigo Pottery is located at 146 Midland Highway in Epsom, minutes from Bendigo.
