Italian Wine + Food Festival 2018: WIN TICKETS + What's On

The Italian Wine + Food Festival is happening on Sunday August 26!

For the first time it will be at Australian Technology Park, at Eveleigh - which is basically near Redfern station.

Here are some highlights from last year.


We are MOST excited about seeing Aldo Ortado from MasterChef 2018, who will be onstage with Roberto Dessanti, aka The Wog With The Grog, on at 11.15am - 11.45am, where Aldo will be creating a classic Roman carbonara pasta.

Also see the duo at the stand 'Little Piggy Went To Market' by Busfood, where Salumi Australia products and artisan Italian products will be plentiful for you to buy and some sampling too!

Here is more on the event, taken from the show's site:
Where is the venue?
Australian Technology Park is located approximately 5km south of the Sydney CBD, 8km north of Sydney airport and within 200m of Redfern Railway Station. The site is serviced by both Sydney Trains via Redfern Station and Sydney Buses between CBD and Marrickville Metro, as well as a dedicated cycleway. For more details visit:  http://www.doltonehouse.com.au/venue/australian-technology-park/

What are my parking options at the event?
Divvy parking is offered at Australian Technology Park, allowing you to book a parking space online, prior to arriving. Please note there is limited casual parking onsite – booking ahead is required. The entrance to the car park is from Henderson Road, Eveleigh. For information, visit the Divvy website:  https://www.divvyparking.com 

What are my transport options getting to the event? 
TRAIN: Sydney Trains operate frequent train services between Redfern Station (adjacent to the Australian Technology Park) and other major Sydney stations including Central, Town Hall, Wynyard and Circular Quay.

BUS: There are frequent bus services to the Australian Technology Park from the city and Sydney’s domestic and international airpo . The bus stop closest to the Australian Technology Park is on the corner of Boundary and Regent Street.
