The Fleurieu Food Festival is your invitation to explore the rich flavours, passionate people, and stunning landscapes that make the Fleurieu Peninsula a true foodie’s paradise. Across the month of August, the region comes alive with vineyard feasts, farm-fresh experiences, hands-on workshops, and chef-led dining events that celebrate the best in local food and wine.
