Time Out says

Dreaming of a road trip and coastal getaway? We’ve got just the thing. Naturellement – a two-day food and wine festival showcasing the best small-scale producers in New South Wales – is happening this month at Galleria Ettalong Beach on the beautiful Central Coast.

Spearheaded by two Cenny Coast locals – booze expert Mike Bennie of P&V and Kristy Austin, founder of creative experience agency We Are Neighbourhood – Naturellement aims to celebrate artisan, natural, organic and small-batch food and drink producers, across two days of serious wining and dining on May 17 and 18.

Expect more than 120 drink tastings, delicious eats, a killer music line-up and chats with farmers and producers on everything from sustainability to regenerative farming.

“This is a celebration of NSW and the ACT’s artisan, boutique and avant-garde producers,” says Bennie.

“It’s also an opportunity to introduce Australians – particularly those in our large cities like Sydney and Melbourne – to regional centres like the Central Coast. They have a bounty of incredible food, wine, beer, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks on offer – so why shouldn’t there be a festival that showcases and shares it with the rest of the country?”

Food-wise, top-notch Aussie chefs Alanna Sapwell-Stone (The Eltham Hotel), Matt Stone (Ciao Mate, You Beauty), and Jake Kellie (of Adelaide restaurant Arkhé) will all be there, collaborating and serving up flavour-packed plates.

If you’re keen to deepen your wine knowledge, a range of masterclasses will also be running across the weekend, available for an extra $20.

Supporting local winemakers, craft brewers, distillers and producers while having a fun day out? Sounds like a good time to us.

Tickets to Naturellement cost $65 per person and include entry to one of the four sessions across the weekend, unlimited tastings, a Plumm wine glass, and access to the talks program. You can snap yours up here.
