From May 29 to June 1, 2025, Noosa will once again transform into a must-visit destination for food lovers with the return of its celebrated Eat & Drink Festival. The 2025 edition promises to be the largest and most exciting yet, with a stellar line-up of chefs, restaurants, and premium beverage brands coming together to create a four-day culinary celebration in one of Australia’s most stunning coastal locations.
The Festival Village, located at Noosa Woods, will be the heartbeat of the celebration, offering a weekend of indulgence that’s accessible to all. Here, visitors can enjoy live cooking demonstrations, sip on fine wines from Shaw + Smith, Dal Zotto, and Cloudy Bay, and sample creations from Noosa’s finest chefs. With interactive masterclasses and live entertainment, the Village promises to be a true immersion in the region’s vibrant food culture.
Signature events are set to elevate the festival’s offerings. The Beachside Italian Long Lunch on Noosa Main Beach transforms the coast into a luxurious Italian escape, featuring a five-course menu by renowned chefs Andrea Ravezzani, Guy Grossi, and Luca Ciano. For something unique, the Catalina Lunch Afloat offers an exclusive dining experience on the Noosa River, with Michelin-starred chef Josh Emett curating a seafood-inspired menu, paired with elegant Provence Rosé.
Those seeking a deeper dive into the culinary arts will find it in immersive experiences like the Chandon Lounge, where VIP guests can savour gourmet catering paired with stunning local wines. Meanwhile, the festival’s restaurant events, from tuna tastings to a Mezcal masterclass, promise one-off, creative collaborations that reflect the best of Noosa’s thriving dining scene.
With an exciting lineup of events and an atmosphere that mixes beachside relaxation with gastronomic indulgence, Noosa Eat & Drink Festival 2025 is a celebration of both place and flavour. Tickets are now available here.
