How to apply
1. Develop your event concept
The most successful events in recent years have been experiential. Our audience wants to be immersed – to learn, eat, drink, watch and make. We encourage you to offer guests the opportunity to get off the beaten track, experience hands-on classes around your kitchen table or discover food or drink they can’t try on any other day. They want to share something new and special.
- The best events are experiential
- Have a unique selling point
- Collaborate with others
- Consider school holidays, family involvement
- Hero delicious food and beverage
- Consider weather and seasonality
Styles of previous events:
- Tours: Walk, bike, car, helicopter, forage, indigenous
- Breakfast, lunch
- Art and culinary
- Tastings
- Masterclass
- Eating
- Learning
Consider the Tasting Australia ethos:
- People
- Produce
- Place
