Some of the region’s finest food and wine producers wereon display at the Melbourne Good Food and Wine Show on the weekend of 4-6 June.
And just to make sure people knew what to do with the rich array of fine wine, beer, olive oils, spices and berries on display the chefs from Lifestyle Food’s popular TV show Boys Weekend were on hand to answer questions, sign autographs and talk about their regional food preferences.
“With the help of the boys, as they call themselves, our producers have a great opportunity to showcase their wares,” said Roger Grant, Executive Director of Geelong Otway Tourism.
The chefs from the Boys Weekend program are Manu Feildel (My Kitchen Rules), Gary Mehigan (Master Chef), Adrian Richardson and Miguel Maestre.
“This is an exclusive appearance for us and this is something else I am really pleased about,” Mr Grant said. “They filmed three of their episodes in our region and obviously they rate what we have to offer very highly.”
