Indulge in the knowledge that you are part of a communal search for excellence through simple pleasures.
Knysna's fifth annual food fundi festival has something for everyone! It is a festival for food and wine lovers - from the community, chefs, restaurateurs, cookery enthusiasts, tourists and local hospitality practitioners, to the artisan and farmer-producers. Have fun and be entertained with dance, music, passion, a food theatre and performing arts.
One of South Africa’s premier culinary festivals, Gastronomica not only underlines good and honest food and fresh seasonal ingredients, but also celebrates correct producer-practices, and the training and education of food enthusiasts at all levels. It is the foodies’ paradise; 10-days crammed full of hands-on workshops and discussions, even culinary comedy!
