World's Longest Lunch - Ballarat

Friday 12th March 2010

Relax, unwind and turn off the phone…

This year, the World’s Longest Lunch returns to the Prime Minister’s Walk in the Botanical Gardens. It is simply a superb location to unwind with some great food and wine, and in the company of good friends.

Some of Ballarat’s most exciting chefs have combined to present another memorable feast. To further reflect the emphasis on local produce, each dish will be matched with wines from the Ballarat region – quietly emerging as a source of superb Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This is the perfect opportunity to reward a valuable staff member, entertain your best customers, or… simply sit back with friends, relax, and watch the world go past!

This year our Charity Partner is the Vivien Hodgins Foundation. This foundation was established in honour of Vivien who was killed in the Tsunami that devastated Samoa in 2009. The foundation aims to assist those in Samoa with rebuilding their lives and villages and in addition, awards a scholarship at Mt Clear Secondary College where Vivien was a respected and valued teacher.

To take the worry out of driving, we have even arranged a Courtesy Bus to pick up and return patrons to the Railway Station in Lydiard St, simply reserve a place when you book.

With most events, there is usually a last minute rush for tickets - but this makes planning quite difficult. So, to make life a little easier for the organizers and as an extra incentive to book early; there is a prize of a night’s accommodation with Ballarat Miners Cottages to be drawn from among those who book BEFORE 28 February 2010.

The lunch can only be possible with the generous support of a number of sponsors:

The World’s Longest Lunch is presented by the Ballarat Wineries as part of the 2010 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
