The Sunshine Coast Asian Food Festival is returning for its fourth year to the serene rainforest grounds of Spicers Tamarind Retreat on Saturday 28 February 2021 from 1pm to 6pm.

Spicers Tamarind Retreat offers rainforest fringed luxury, infused with the seductive spices of Asia. Tamarind is a welcome 18-acre sanctuary of calm and elegance. It’s the perfect occasion to gather friends and family for an afternoon of vibrant Asian Street food, refreshing beverages, great sounds, cooking demos, riesling masterclasses, and relaxing pleasures.

A getaway at the retreat is an extraordinary experience; an Asian-influenced oasis that feels like you’re a world away, surrounded by natural beauty and tranquillity. Western luxury with eastern tranquillity. Relax in Spa Anise, astonish yourself at the Tamarind Cooking School or just enjoy the stillness of a truly unique escape – just an hour north of Brisbane and 3km east of the Maleny township.

Indulge in flavoursome Asian Street Food by The Tamarind’s highly acclaimed Head Chef, Daniel Jarrett or quench your thirst with local beverages and brews! Tinker with inspired cocktails from Noosa’s Fortune Distillery including their irresistible gins and vodkas, and sip on stunning wines from the family-owned Brockenchack Winery based in Barossa’s Eden Valley.

Gain new cooking skills by attending the Asian cooking demonstrations hosted by The Tamarind’s talented chefs in their on-site Cooking School. Taste and learn at a Riesling Masterclass hosted wine guru, highly awarded sommelier and MC Peter Marchant.

Guests can meander through the lush and serene rainforest of Tamarind Retreat and lounge on ‘bring-your-own’ picnic blankets and cushions on the slopes of the natural grassed amphitheatre reading themselves to listen to the cool sounds of the live entertainment.
