A MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER Welcome to Queensland’s Sunshine Coast for the 2015 Noosa International Food & Wine Festival, a premier event showcasing Australian food and wine to the world.

This year’s festival promises to serve spectacular food and wine experiences to the thousands of culinary enthusiasts who will converge on Noosa’s shores in May.

and thank the volunteers and all those who take part in the festival for making it such a great success.

I hope you enjoy the festival and take the time to explore the surrounding Sunshine Coast tourism attractions.

The Palaszczuk Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland, is proud to support the festival as part of Queensland’s It’s Live! events calendar, highlighting the perfect union of worldclass events and destinations.

THE HON. KATE JONES, MP

I congratulate the Noosa International Food & Wine Festival event organisers for hosting such a world-class culinary experience in Queensland

Minister for Tourism, Major Events and Small Business

WELCOME Welcome to the 2015 Noosa International Food & Wine Festival. The Festival continues to evolve with new exciting events and expansion of the old ones.

The Festival’s mantra is to promote Australian food and wine to the world by showcasing Australia’s leading chefs, wine makers and producers at the same time incorporating many international contributors to help spread the message. The Festival format is informal, educational but most of all fun.

The festival has an enviable international and national reputation with many visitors from overseas and interstate. As always we proudly welcome our local patrons who make our region’s food scene what it is. The superb Australian food and wine culture has now firmly established itself on the world stage and is considered to be among the top countries in the world for food and wine.

Noosa provides the perfect venue for such an event with the natural beauty of Laguna Bay, the Noosa National Park, the pristine river system and hinterland.

The village atmosphere of the town provides an intimacy that is truly unique. Apart from the food trails, unique features in themselves, Noosa is the one food and wine festival where all events occur within walking distance of each other and your accommodation if you so wish. The Festival is also conscious of best practices for food production, waste and sustainability.

Special thanks must go to our sponsors, contributors and volunteers as without them the Festival would not be possible. Our deep gratitude goes to our presenting partner Westpac and Tourism and Events Queensland for their invaluable support. The committee is most grateful though to all the loyal patrons - we look forward to welcoming you back again in 2015.

THE COURIER-MAIL ANNEXE

Food, travel and philosophy are a huge part of our lives.

The Courier-Mail Annexe explores these topics.

11am - 11.30am

A restaurant, a bar, a cafe, a nightclub (or all of them) ; something raw (or all raw), something pickled, something deep fried, something foraged, something smoky, some skippy, some seaweed; small plates, shared plates; on artisan crockery and wood planks; coming from a wood fired oven or grill. Is this the new Oz diner?

(Is there any hope for regional Oz cuisines?)

MC Chris Dore, Anthony Huckstep, John Lethlean, Elizabeth Meryment, Sharnee Rawson, Dan Stock, Simon Thomsen, Simon Wilkinson

12pm - 1pm

Is Australian regional tourism losing out to the cruising boom - does a port or safe anchorage level the playing field?

Is there still a role today for professional restaurant critics? Of course, there is!

MC Fiona Donnelly, Anthony Huckstep, John Lethlean, Lizzie Loel, Elizabeth Meryment, Dan Stock, Anooska Tucker-Evans, Necia Wilden

2.30pm - 3pm

The customer is not always right- gripes on both sides of the house.

MC Jim Berardo, Kylie Lang, Martin Duncan, Kerry Heaney, Tony Percuoco, Sharnee Rawson, Necia Wilden

3.45pm - 4.15pm

Food allergies and intolerances, restrictive diets, bio-individuality - a chef’s nightmare. How do we handle this pandemic positively?
