Here are a few of the key highlights to check out during Tasting Australia 2019:

Small Plates at Town Square

Open over the duration of the food festival, Small Plates at Town Square is the centre of activity for Tasting Australia. Found in Adelaide’s CBD at Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga, the free festival hub will host some of South Australia’s best chefs crafting traditional recipes and showcasing some of the state’s best produce. All the dishes are designed to be shared, eaten as snacks or enjoyed alongside other ‘small plates’ as a DIY tasting plate. East End Cellars bars will also be around to help with the festive spirit, serving up a variety of South Australian wines and spirits.
