The People
Meet people who have helped move Perth’s food culture forward – daring bakers who challenged what good bread could be, and coffee roasters committed to helping independent cafés serve better coffee. You’ll also meet second-generation family businesses proudly taking established food traditions into the future. Their stories are about much more than producing something delicious. There’s persistence, knowledge, family history and a determination to keep improving what they do. They’re generous with their knowledge and passionate about their craft – exactly the kind of people we love introducing you to.
The Food
From deeply baked sourdough and excellent coffee to handcrafted Italian smallgoods, this is a day for people who love seriously good food. Taste crusty baguettes and fougasse, discover the skill behind traditional salumi and wander shelves laden with specialty ingredients sourced locally and from around the world.
Along the way, you’ll see how quality ingredients and time-honoured techniques can turn seemingly simple foods – bread, coffee and smallgoods – into something exceptional. Then settle in beside the Swan River for a seasonal shared lunch showcasing what’s tasting best in Western Australia. Come hungry – there’s plenty to taste, discover and take home.
