Time to dress up nice, eat some great food, and act like you know what you’re talking about when you describe the ‘nutty notes’ of a foie gras.

March Into Merivale Food and Wine Festival will return in 2016 for the eighth year running. The colossal celebration of all things gustatory is set to be bigger than ever this time around, with events taking place at a host of locations around Sydney.

There’ll be wine tastings; nights dedicated to chocolate and shellfish (that’s one night for chocolate, one night for shellfish, rather than a hellish combination of the two); and mystery feasts that will have unsuspecting diners rocking up to secret locations.

Given the incredible diversity of events, one would be foolish not to get involved. Just make sure you start starving yourself now.

March Into Merivale’s food and wine program kicks off on Sunday February 14 and runs through to Sunday March 20. For the full list of events and locations, head over to the website.
