Lovers of the finer things in life are being invited to feast on the west’s best produce at Eynesbury Homestead later this month.

The historic homestead and farm village will host the annual Regional Tastes Festival, celebrating the best food and wine the region has to offer.

Chefs and wine experts from across the state will join the festivities, which will also feature displays from more than 60 providores, wineries and breweries.

Festival participants will be able to sample and shop for coffee, charcuterie, olive oils, cakes, and more.

Other highlights will include an appearance by award-winning foodie and presenter Lyndey Milan, demonstrations by Grossi Florentino head chef Matteo Toffano and a butchery demonstration.

Food trucks will be on site, while there will be live music and a kids’ zone featuring magicians, a petting zoo, jumping castle and a fun fair.

Tickets cost $20 for adults. Children under-15 can enter for free.

The festival will be on Saturday, September 23, from 11am until 8pm.
