The Melbourne Food & Wine Festival Thorpdale

A huge crowd was in attendance at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival held in the small rural town of Thorpdale which is nestled in the rolling hills between Mirboo North and Trafalgar.

The town has endured issues over the years with the burning down of the hotel, the loss of the general store and post office but the hotel re-opened and the popular bakery has also taken on the running of the post office and become a major focal point of the town, things are changing in Thorpdale and despite the threatening skies on Saturday the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival was a great success for the town.

As you can see from the photos, there was a massive crowd on hand and after chatting to a few of the stall holders on the day they were impressed with the turn out despite the horrid weather we have received in November.
