Tasting Australia presented by RAA Travel is Australia’s premier food and beverage festival and among the longest-running events of its kind in the nation. It’s a celebration of eating and drinking and a showcase of all things South Australian: produce, people and place. Each year we invite audiences to step beyond a standard food festival and discover deliciously different experiences that feed their curiosity.
Tasting Australia creates lasting memories through authentic eating and drinking experiences only South Australia can offer.
The 17th edition of Tasting Australia will start this Friday 3 May and run for 10 days to Sunday 12 May – across Adelaide and regional South Australia.
More than 150 events feature in this year's festival program, which was shaped by the Tasting Australia creative team: festival director Karena Armstrong, food curator Kane Pollard and drinks curators Meira Harel and Banjo Harris Plane.
In this segment, we hear from Banjo Harris Plane, one of Tasting Australia's Beverage Curators with a background spanning fine dining restaurants, international wine imports and sales. Born and bred in Adelaide, he worked across interstate and international restaurants before five years as manager of the globally acclaimed Attica in Melbourne – a stint that saw him twice named Australia’s best sommelier.
