What’s on the menu? Well, a little bit of everything actually!
Foodies, pack your stretchy pants. Because when Bundy throws a food festival, we don’t nibble – we feast. From long lunches in macadamia orchards to sunset sessions in the vineyards, this is the kind of festival where everyone leaves a little fuller (in heart and in stomach).
Taste Bundaberg Festival isn’t your fancy city food fest. This is flavour with dirt under its fingernails – where menus come with muddy boots and cocktails are best served with a sea breeze. It’s food without the fuss and flavour without the filters. And behind every bite? A local legend with a story worth toasting.
From rum makers to tomato whisperers, these are the folks who get up before the sun and still pour you a drink at sunset. So come hungry – not just for the food, but for the stories, the people, and a whole region proud to serve it all up, slow-cooked and with seconds.
