A main feature of the Sip and Savour events is of course the Culinary Stage, which will showcase a variety of chefs over the weekend from celebrity names to local icons including Masterchef finalist, Byron Bay restaurateur, and proud Bundjalung woman, Mindy Woods. Each session will focus on sustainability and seasonality, spotlighting local ingredients.

A range of family-friendly activities will also be on offer across Saturday and Sunday to entertain the young and young at heart.
The additional Port Macquarie location is thanks to the continued support from the NSW Government’s Regional Events Acceleration Fund (REAF), an initiative aiming to support the social and economic recovery and prosperity of regional NSW.
