Lane Cove’s Food and Wine by the River is on Sunday, 2 November 2025, at Burns Bay Reserve from 11 am to 5 pm.

The Food and Wine Festival has become Lane Cove’s favourite event.  Over 20 of the Mudgee region’s wineries and local produce providers will head to Lane Cove for the event, along with other food stalls, live music, and activities for the kids.

If you’ve never been to the Mudgee region, then this is your perfect opportunity to discover a little bit more about one of regional NSW’s favourite destinations.

Check out the fun from last year and make sure you don’t miss it this year.

Pre Purchase Your Tasting Tickets

Free entry. Pre-sale wine tasting tickets are now available to purchase or you can purchase on the day.  ITC TIP:  It is better to purchase your tickets in advance as they can run out of wine glasses and you can also be stuck in a queue rather than tasting.

Food and Wine by the River is a licensed event with no BYO or glass permitted.

The event is free. Tasting tumblers and five tasting tokens can be purchased for $30 (plus booking fee).

Music (including BYO Vinyl)

Enjoy an eclectic mix of jazz, funk, soul, disco, and down-tempo grooves spun on a hand-built sound system by Oh My Days.  It’s a BYO vinyl concept, so you could hear your track spun live riverside.

There will be continuous music throughout the day.

Child and Pet Friendly

In addition to live entertainment, this family-friendly event includes free face painting and games for the kids, and, as long as dogs are on a leash, they can come too!

Free Shuttle Bus

There will be a free shuttle bus running from outside The Spotted Orchid to the event so you can leave the car at home.

Car Parking

If you are coming by car, free parking is available at the St Ignatius Regis Campus (not the main campus).  The car park opens at 10.30 am and there is a shuttle bus to Burns Bay Reserve.

Public Bus

Walking

You can also access the site from Burns Bay Road and Waterview Drive and Best Street.  Just a short walk to the fenced off area from these streets.
