Festival of Nonna
A celebration of food, love and family
To explore the Italian heritage of Sandhurst Fine Foods we launched a festival celebrating the secret weapon behind all great Italian chefs: Nonna.
With a pop-up rooftop restaurant, four chefs, their Nonnas, and a whole lotta love, the festival sold out in two days, served 3500 dishes, sank 1500 litres of wine, taught hundreds how to cook — while also entertaining Nonna fans across the country.
The festival has continued annually in Melbourne and Sydney.
