The Sydney Food & Wine Fair, now in its 19th year, was conceived as Counter Aid in David Jones Food Hall in 1991. The following year, supported by a core group of Sydney restaurateurs, the event expanded outdoors to Castlereagh Street before moving into its present venue in Hyde Park North where it has become the flagship fundraising event for the AIDS Trust of Australia.
Supported by major sponsors the City of Sydney and the Sydney Morning Herald’s Sydney International Food Festival as well as sponsors 32 Hundred Lighting, Stella Concepts, Leuver Design, and Constant Security the Fair has become the largest single-day food and wine event on the Sydney calendar.
Last year over 100 stallholders from Sydney’s leading restaurants, cafes, and winemakers helped to bring in over $80,000 from the Fair. In 2009 we hope to increase this amount with an anticipated crowd of 30,000 people.
