Tasting Australia, 13 – 22 April 2018
Mad March might over but our favourite month is only just beginning. Why April you ask? Because who doesn’t love a 10-day festival of eating and drinking local South Australian produce, otherwise known as Tasting Australia.
We’ve put together our top picks for free events not to miss this Tasting Australia, check them out!
- Charred
The heart of the event will again be in Adelaide’s Town Square and is the place to be for gathering with friends and family with a glass of wine in hand and a taste of delicious food prepared by South Australian chefs who celebrate the use of local produce. If the name didn’t give it away, Charred features food vendors using fire as their primary heat source. The perfect antidote to a crisp autumn breeze. Allow SA’s best to warm your hearts with the smoky scent of Charred.
