Tastes of Greater Geelong is back for its 14th year to celebrate the best of the region’s culinary creativity, kicking off with a winter wonderland.
The event will begin with a one-night-only Tastes Winter Festival at Johnstone Park on June 20, featuring toasted marshmallows, mulled wine and interactive family fun.
The City of Greater Geelong festival will continue across the region with many events, including workshops and masterclasses, running until July 20
“Tastes of Greater Geelong 2025 has 81 events all across Greater Geelong from Armstrong Creek and Fyansford to Corio and Portarlington,” Mayor Stretch Kontelj said.
“There are countless vibrant and inclusive activities and experiences for the Greater Geelong community and visitors to participate in and enjoy this winter,” Councillor Eddy Kontelj said.
Festival highlights included a head-to-head competition between Geelong’s best bartenders, G-Kids’ Tasting Trail and the Secret World of Food hosted across Geelong’s libraries.
