Food and wine fair at Pearl Beach

The Pearl Beach Progress Association will host its sixth Food and Wine Fair at Pearl Beach Memorial Hall on Saturday, September 28, from 10am to 5pm.

The community fundraising activity has drawn large crowds in previous years.

"We will be showcasing three Hunter based boutique wineries with regulars Wollombi Wines, and Finch Lane Wines returning and Catherine Vale Wines new this year," said Association communications officer Ms Lynne Lillico.

"If you love food, choose from the Central Coast's very own Little Creek Cheeses or Hunter Olives and Processing products, Simon's Wollombi Pantry and a favourite each year, Maggie's Farm, selling wood-fired bread, fresh organic vegetables, homemade chutney, jams and delicious pickles.

"Margin's Mushroom, a Central Coast identity, is always an early sell-out, and Crooked Creek's savoury and sweet biscuits with their homemade Christmas puddings return once again adding flavour to the food mix.

"New this year is Marc's Patisserie, a homemade array of chocolate, pastry and cakes.

"Acorn Garden Centre will be selling edible plants and herbs to entice the gardener in us all.

"In addition, a range products will be provided by Laguna Lavender.

Two gourmet hampers filled with food and wine, donated by the exhibitors, will be raffled with proceeds going toward maintenance of the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.
