 Held every other year, Tasting Australia attracts food professionals, brewers and winemakers, chefs, restaurateurs and sommeliers, educators and academics, not to mention around 30,000 members of the general public. This eight-day event focuses its time not only in Adelaide but also branches out into South Australia’s regions, each of which boasts its own food and wine highlights.
