Feature Events 2024

This April more than 75 Feature Events will fill the Newcastle Food Month calendar. Get to know some of Newcastle’s best chefs, be wined and dined by them in an intimate dinner, put your beer pairing knowledge to the test or broaden your cheese board repertoire.

It’s a great way to get to know your local producers and learn their stories. Newcastle Food Month is, after all, about championing what the Hunter plates up in its backyard and giving you a diverse and tempting array of reasons to eat out to your hearts content in April.

Newcastle Food Month premium experiences range in cost, time, taste and in some cases raucous fun. There’s some for a good cause, and some cause for a good time. So block out the diary, gather your friends and book in for a one-of-a-kind culinary event before tickets sell out at your favourite venue.

RAVELLA X ALFIE’S PERFECT MATCH 2024

Ravella 48 Watt Street, Newcastle, NSW, Australia

We’re thrilled to invite you to join us on our big day as we begin our courtship and celebrate some of the Hunter Region’s finest and the very best Newcastle has to offer. It’s about local food, local wine and local fun whilst we welcome you as the first guests to Ravella - where we hope you’ll enjoy the first of many amazing experiences.

To help us celebrate we’re excited to welcome Usher Tinkler, Lisa McGuigan and Liz Silkman to join us - not only are they our valued friends, but you might recognise them as some of the most talented and respected Hunter winemakers from Usher Tinkler Wines, Lisa McGuigan Wines and First Creek Wines respectively. Annnnd.. in the spirit of turning up the fun - YOU will vote on which wine will be crowned the Inaugural Ravella x Alfie’s Perfect Match. Each course of Alfie's Italian feast will be matched with wines from our winemakers and served in disguise.

In a homage to the beloved household game show of the 80s, the winemakers will vie for our attention, questions will be asked and compatibility scores will be calculated - until the Perfect Match is revealed! There’ll be canapes, antipasti, primi, pasta and secondi courses - and of course - dolce! Featuring beautiful food, stunning wine and live music, great memories are a certainty. So gather some old friends and plan on making some new ones and book your tickets pronto!

Will it be love at first sip? We can’t wait to find out.

Inclusions (but certainly not limited to):

Six-course shared Italian feast by Alfie’s Head Chef, Rafael Tonon
(Perfect) Matching Wines from some of the Hunter’s Finest Winemakers - Usher Tinkler, Lisa McGuigan & Liz Silkman (First Creek Wines)
