The ‘Best Dinner in the World’ was launched with the support of Qantas, at the 2011 Festival and was a sellout success. With the world’s best chefs on offer for 2012, it will again be a feature event for the Festival, focusing the world’s attention on Noosa and Australia as a spectacular destination with a bounty of incredible produce.
Two hundred of the world’s most prominent chefs, winemakers, media and food personalities will descend upon one of Australia’s most magical settings, Noosa and the Sunshine Coast for the Noosa International Food & Wine Festival from 17-20 May 2012. Tickets for the Festival and the Qantas Best Dinner in the World will go on sale early January 2012.
One thing is sure, tickets to this event won't come cheap and you'll need to throw in accommodation and airfares if you are not lucky enough to live close by, but what a present!
