Tasting Australia is getting ready to turn up the heat this May with an exciting new addition that takes the guesswork out of food and wine pairings. This year, Town Square will play host to the latest inclusion, named ‘Town Square Perfect Pair’, an experience designed to take the stress out of picking the perfect wine to go with your meal.
Here’s how it works. Over four days, four standout food vendors will be on deck with a leading Australian sommelier, either Meira Harel or Banjo Harris Plane, for a guided pairing session at the bar. These two know their way around a wine list, and they’ll help you match your meal with the ideal drop while talking you through the art and science of food and wine pairing.
Then, grab a seat and take the time to ask plenty of questions while you plan your next bite. It’s an experience that’s as educational as it is delicious. It kicks off from just $35.
Each day, a different local restaurant will be serving up its signature dishes. Here’s a sneak peek at what to expect.
Ông Noi Vietnamese Kitchen – Tuesday May 6th, 12pm to 1pm
On the menu, find smoky pork belly lollipops glazed with char siu, or try their crispy Vietnamese rice paper ‘pizza’ with Westside Mushies and corn ribs.
Braising Boy – Wednesday May 7th, 12pm to 1pm
On Wednesday, it’s all about street food with soul. Choose from rich beef birria tacos slow-cooked to perfection, or opt for the bright and zesty sweet potato version with pineapple salsa and guac.
The Filipino Project – Thursday May 8th, 12pm to 1pm
Try a bold coconut chicken adobo or try the vegan tofu and mushroom twist — both are served over fragrant rice and wrapped in a banana leaf for an authentic island vibe.
Dolly – Friday May 9th, 12pm to 1pm
On Friday, expect comfort with a gourmet touch. There’s rigatoni with pork sausage and guanciale or a vegan broccoli rigate with lemon, chilli and confit garlic.
Each dish will come paired with a glass of wine handpicked by the team of experts, making this a perfect lunchtime escape in the heart of Town Square. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or just keen to eat and drink well, this is one festival add-on you won’t want to miss.
Tickets are limited, so round up your foodie mates and book in for the Perfect Pair experience — cheers!
