Unleash your inner foodie at Taxi Kitchen! Join us for a hands-on tasting extravaganza where you’ll learn, create, and indulge in delightful flavours alongside top suppliers!

Get ready to dive headfirst into a world of flavour and fun at Taxi Kitchen’s ultimate "supplier showcase," a highlight of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival! This is not your average tasting event - this is a 3-hour culinary adventure where you’ll get up close and personal with six incredible suppliers, each offering a hands-on, interactive experience.

At each station, you’ll spend 20 minutes learning, creating, and tasting. Master the art of oyster shucking like a pro, try your hand at blending your own wine, or unleash your inner mixologist by crafting custom cocktails. You’ll even get the chance to brainstorm new flavours and dive into tips on reducing food waste with some seriously quirky ingredients.

As you journey through each station, Taxi Kitchen will be serving up mouthwatering canapés and signature drinks - each one inspired by the flavours you’re exploring. From the freshest seafood to bespoke cocktails, this is your chance to truly savour every bite and sip while chatting with the people who know these products inside out.

To complete the experience, you’ll head home with a goodie bag packed with exclusive treats, ensuring the fun (and flavours) follow you long after the event is over. Ready to taste, sip, and explore like never before?

ABOUT THE SHOW

Socially anxious Evan Hansen is forced to make a decision. Play along with the charade, receiving the attention he’s always craved. Or speak out and risk losing it all. DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the raw, moving and inspiring story of a socially anxious highschooler who is suddenly thrust into the spotlight when he inadvertently invents an important role for himself at the centre of a tragedy.

Intimate and deeply personal, this multi-award winning coming of age tale carries a reputation as one of the most profound stories in contemporary musical theatre, and brilliantly illustrates our desire for authentic human connection in a hyper-connected, digital world.

Now making its Australian premiere with an all-new production design and direction, this radiant Broadway sensation will be delivered with revitalised energy by Sydney Theatre Company and Michael Cassel Group.

An empowering and uplifting experience for anyone who’s ever considered themselves “on the outside, always looking in” .
