Celebrate With Us
Tasting Australia Masterclass Series
Tasting Australia is the country’s longest running eating and drinking festival – celebration and collaboration of people, produce and place lie at the heart of our existence.
Each autumn it invites audiences to step beyond a standard food festival to discover deliciously different experiences that feed their curiosity.
The University of Adelaide is proud to present 11 unique masterclasses at Tasting Australia 2024 inviting audiences to experience the fruits of the crucial research and education in agriculture, food, and wine carried out at the Waite Campus for the past 100 years.
