Slow Food and Wine Festival
Event description
The Slow Food & Wine Festival is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of heritage, sustainability, and community in the heart of Swan Valley. Inspired by the global Slow Food movement, this festival brings together winemakers, food artisans, and cultural storytellers to showcase the region’s rich traditions.
What’s it all about?
This festival honours the deep connection between food, wine, and the land, embracing Good, Clean, and Fair principles. From the wisdom of the Noongar people to the influence of Croatian and Italian settlers, you’ll explore the flavours and history that make the Swan Valley so unique.
The Festival kicks off with an exclusive launch dinner on Friday, 2 May, followed by three Slow Food and Wine sessions—two on Saturday, 3 May, and one on Sunday, 4 May.
