An Ascot Vale Wander – 20 March, 6.00pm – 8.30pm *SOLD OUT*

This Wander kicks off at neighbourhood favourite The Vale Eatery and Bar for Victorian wines matched with house-made chorizo and grilled eggplant with hazelnut romesco. From there, wander forth to Sinq Foods for excellent Ethiopian, including East African intrigue served on injera and accompanied by their house-made alcohol-free ginger beer. Last but not least, it’s off to the Union Wine Store for antipasto, cheese and an array of interesting and obscure wines. A brilliant way to acquaint yourself with Ascot Vale’s under-the-radar food and drink haunts!

A Moonee Ponds Wander – 20 March, 6.00pm – 8.30pm *SOLD OUT*

This tour is a suburban flavour quest calling at four of the tastiest joints in Moonee Ponds. Stop one is Philhellene, a Greek stalwart with 16 years in the game. We’re talking delectable prawns, saganaki, bread and dips and those delicious Cretan treats, kalitsounia. Then, pop over to Parco Ramen for a lobster ramen and a Japanese beer, before making your way to Mango Lounge for your choice of one of three excellent cocktails and a cup of gelato delivered to your hand from Happy Eats Gelato. Yum!
