We are amidst the second annual Wellington on a Plate festival which runs from 14 August through to 29 August. The festival is a joint venture between Positively Wellington Tourism and Grow Wellington and was set up to showcase regional food and beverage products. There are a multitude of events to attend and restaurants to visit. With pop-up restaurants, wine classes, a beer festival, degustations and even speed dating - it's going to be an action packed fortnight!
The most accessible event is Dine Wellington in which participating restaurants and cafes offer lunch and dinner deals over the two week festival period. The most common deal includes a set menu priced at $25 or $35 often with a glass of wine thrown in or tea/coffee, with a few variations on that theme such as a free desert or 20% discount.
Unfortunately, time and the ever elusive moolah will limit my participation to just a few events, but I can't wait!
Watch this space...
