Tasting Australia 2025

Tasting Australia presented by Journey Beyond is one of the country’s longest running eating and drinking festivals – a celebration and collaboration of people, produce and place.

Each autumn, the festival invites audiences to step beyond a standard food festival to discover deliciously different experiences that feed their curiosity. Tasting Australia returns in 2025 from 2–11 May, with more than 150 events planned across South Australia.
