Five (foodie) things to do in Canberra, March 5, 2019
Here's a five-course serve of delicious ideas to get excited about.
The beer’s here
James Squire is the official beer and cider partner of Good Food Month so head to the Night Noodle Markets to wash down some delights in the Craft Garden.
This year James Squire has curated a range of craft beer breweries for the Canberra event, so look out for killer brews from Little Creatures, White Rabbit, Malt Shovel Brewers, Panhead Custom Ales, Eumundi Brewery, Brooklyn Brewery and James Squire. These finely crafted beers have been carefully selected to be paired with your favourite Night Noodle Markets dishes to ensure you get the best of both worlds.
Vegan Day Out
Braddon businesses will be discounting all your favourite vegan foods, drinks, groceries, fashion and more. It's perfect for a vegan food crawl, shopping tour and showcasing veganism to friends and family.
At the start of the event you’ll get a map of Braddon and surrounds showing all the participating businesses and their offers. Then you get to enjoy a walking tour while redeeming all your favourite offers on the map.
At the Cruelty Free Shop, there’ll be a storewide discount on hundreds of items plus free food tastings all weekend long.
March 9, 9am-5pm and March 10, 10am-5pm. More info at vegandayout.com.au
Pranzo Italiano
Throughout March, Agostinis are offering a selection of their delicious house-made pastas or pizzas to enjoy with fresh salad and a glass of tap wine. Vino choices include pinot grigio, rosé, sangiovese or shiraz. Not only are tap wines very drinkable, but they are also on a mission to prevent bottles going to landfill. This offer is available every day throughout March, so get on down for your taste of Italy. $35pp. Noon to 2.30pm, East Hotel, Kingston.
The moon is made of cheese
As part of the 2019 Enlighten program Questacon’s amateur drinking enthusiasts are back at it again with an adults-only journey to the moon and beyond ... with some delicious cheeses and drinks along the way.
Under the light of a seven-metre moon, experience an intimate adults-only exploration of humanity's journey to the stars with some cheese tastings paired with wine, whisky, gin and beer.
How did humanity's journey to the stars begin? What does space alcohol taste like? Why do people think the moon is made of cheese?
Find out these answers - and more - at the latest instalment of Questacon's after dark adult-only tasting events.
March 8, from 7pm. $71.45pp. This event is strictly 18+ and bookings are essential.
Rosé Festival
You know I’m a tragic so you’ll be able to find me at Highball Express’ first ever rosé festival. They’ve selected five of their favourite rosados for me (personally) to enjoy on their big breezy balcony.
I’m only familiar with Mada’s Nebbiolo Rose, so I’m keen to try Rogers and Rufus’ Grenache Rosé, From Sunday's The Sunday Project, Golden Child’s Beach Bum Rosé and a Grenache Rosé from Bondar.
Doors open from 3pm with live Latin music all afternoon. $45 includes five wines, shared charcuterie and empanadas.
