FOOD/COOKING VENDORS
Cooking Vehicles and Vans: all food trucks that are using hot oil for cooking need a drop sheet underneath them to prevent any leakage. For other vehicles (i.e. serving drinks) we would expect a standard drip tray. In addition to this we require the dimensions and weight loading of all vehicles positioned inside the venue during operational hours. vehicles utilised during bump in/bump out for deliveries do not need to be included.
Marquees Cooking: For producers utilising any type of cooking equipment that producers a steam or vapour (i.e. hot plates, steamers, grills, sandwich press, fryer) with the exception of coffee machines, a flame-retardant marquee is required. Marquees are only required to have roofing, unless they are up against a wall, in which case they will also need a back wall. Side walls are not required. So if you are grilling cheese or salumi this applies to you.
A full list of of cooking equipment each vendor is supplying onsite is required.

FLOOR PLAN
LAY OF THE LAND
Floor Plan set up is at our discretion and your location may vary from city to city.
The layout is subject to change and is to be used only as a guide.
We group wineries by region to encourage attendees to explore a region in full.
We prefer to integrate drinks, cheese, accompaniments and side hustles in amongst the wineries to further encourage exploration of styles of produce.
This model has proven successful. But remember, as we cap the number of attendees per session there is literally no where to hide and our audience will find you. There is no doubt of that!
