Melbourne Food & Wine Festival World's Longest Lunch.

Guests seated across 600 metres of table winding through Kings Domain parklands at this staple annual affair revelled in the generous hospitality of, and a specially curated three course menu by, Curtis Stone Events.

An entrée of autumn tomato terrine with Meredith Dairy feta, sumac pickled onions, Mount Zero lemon olive oil and caper leaves; a main of Southern Ranges beef cheek braised in spent pinot noir pressings with vadouvan-spiced parsnip and gremolata; and dessert of St David Dairy crème fraîche panna cotta with poached and roasted Queen Garnet plums and gingerbread were complemented by Tahbilk wines and Spritz Bar, Bridge Road Brewers beer, CAPI mineral water and ST. ALi coffee.

In amongst the four seasons of weather, an afternoon was enjoyed with industry associates, new connections and friends.
