Taste Otago: Dunedin Wine & Food Expo
My mother and I recently attended the Taste Otago Wine & Food Expo hosted in the Edgar Centre on Sunday, July 31st. The following is the organisers' description of the event:
Taste Otago will comprise of an integrated mix of the best taste sensations that the industry has to offer. The sky’s the limit and there are no restrictions as to what stallholders choose to offer. The event aims to be fresh, fun and vibrant and focuses on all things related to the wine and food industry.
People who love eating, drinking, cooking and entertaining should attend the event, as well as other businesses and individuals from the wine and food industry.
Sounds great no?
No. What a dreadful disappointment. We paid 30$ to enter the expo, and discovered that the fee essentially entitled us to nothing. You are expected to pay the entrance fee, and then must additionally pay for every taste of wine and nibble of cheese. I would have expected that the fee would have covered a meagre sip or two of wine.
Considering this was a food and wine expo, there was a distinct lack of food on offer. Little India, which I find somewhat overrated, provided the only dedicated food stall. The exhibitors there were in no way representative of the food industry in Otago. In fact, were I not aware of all the excellent restaurants in Dunedin, my impression would have been that Otago hasn't a food industry of any sort.
I certainly won't waste my money on this event in the future. I should have used the money to take my mother to Plato or Bell Pepper Blues for lunch.
