City of Ryde's eagerly awaited food and wine festival Cork & Fork by the Riverside returns to Kissing Point Park on Sunday 17 May, with another delicious array of regional and local produce to sample and enjoy.
Running from 10.00am-4.00pm, visitors are encouraged to indulge in a sparkling day of fun with friends and family on the scenic banks of the Parramatta River.
Free tasting samples will be available from a range of boutique NSW regional wineries, as well as locally made spirits and craft beer. There will also be a wide range of food available from our food trucks and stalls, accompanied by day-long musical entertainment from some fantastic groups and solo performers.
Kids are welcome, too, with lots of activities for them to enjoy including ponies and amusement rides.
Entry into Cork & Fork by the Riverside is free of charge. If you would like to drink alcohol from the range of breweries, distilleries, and wineries attending the event, you can purchase a Cork & Fork festival glass for $10, which is to be used for the free tastings. If you like what you sip, full glasses can be purchased individually from stallholders.
City of Ryde Mayor Trenton Brown said Cork & Fork by the Riverside was the perfect way to wind down after a busy weekend.
"This event is absolute heaven for food and wine lovers," he said.
"Since its inception in 2017, Cork & Fork has grown exponentially to become one of the City of Ryde's most keenly anticipated and popular annual community events.
"Our City prides itself on being the premiere region in Sydney to work, live and play and Cork & Fork certainly makes good on the last part of that pledge.
"I encourage everyone to pack their picnic blankets and enjoy the late autumn weather at one of our most beautiful and relaxing spots."
A special thanks goes to our Silver Sponsors City Ford Ryde and our Bronze Sponsors Ray White Hunters Hill and Village Days Brewing Co.
