Be tempted at Savour the Flavour Hawkesbury

31 August 2022

Get your taste buds ready! Hawkesbury City Council is launching a brand-new event for 2022 called Savour the Flavour Hawkesbury, and it is sure to delight the palate.

The new food and beverage event will be held in Richmond Park, Richmond, on Saturday 15 October 2022 from 4pm to 8pm, and will celebrate the Hawkesbury’s past and present as the original ‘food bowl’ of Sydney. Visitors and locals alike will have the chance to sample and purchase delicious food, produce and beverages from local farmers and businesses. There will also be cooking demonstrations and live entertainment to enjoy.

The Mayor of Hawkesbury, Councillor Sarah McMahon, is already looking forward to seeing plenty of locals and visitors come along to the big foodie event.

“The Hawkesbury is home to Australia’s best fresh food and produce and plays a critical role in feeding Sydney and beyond,” Mayor McMahon said.

“This is an excellent opportunity for locals and visitors to come along and discover the amazing food and beverages our region has to offer. The event will also be good for our local shops, cafes and restaurants by drawing people into the area and boosting our local economy.

“Our local producers have done it particularly tough over the past three years, with bushfires followed by five devastating floods. Savour the Flavour Hawkesbury will not just boost the spirits but also the profile of our local farmers and producers.”

A number of iconic local restaurants and producers will hold on-stage demonstrations for visitors, including Copperstone Restaurant, Karu Distillery, Kurrajong Kitchen, Lochiel House and The Royal Richmond.

The Hawkesbury Regional Museum & Gallery will be at the event with their Leonardo da Vino workshops and food bowl farming exhibition. Book your Leonardo da Vino tickets at paint_at_savour.eventbrite.com/

Make sure you collect your souvenir glass from our Visitor Information Centre at the discounted price of $5 and go into the draw to win a $395 gift voucher from The Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury. You can also buy a glass at the event for $10.

Savour the Flavour Hawkesbury is being assisted by a $30,000 Regional Tourism Bushfire grant and a $6,500 grant from the NSW Government’s Destination Sydney Surrounds North. Hawkesbury Harvest is also a partner of the event.
