Noosa Food & Wine Festival Walk
Explore the Noosa food scene that culminates each May in the Noosa Food & Wine Festival — from hinterland farms and producers to the Hastings Street restaurants that have made Noosa one of Australia's great food destinations.
- 1
Noosa Farmers Market
The Saturday Noosa Farmers Market is the weekly showcase of Sunshine Coast produce — tropical fruits, artisan cheeses, and hinterland-grown coffee beans all appear here before reaching the Hastings Street restaurants.

Noosa Food & Wine Festival Site
The May festival transforms the Hastings Street foreshore into an outdoor food and wine venue — celebrity chefs, local producers, and international wine importers gather for three days of demonstrations and tastings.

Noosa Waterfront Restaurants
The waterfront restaurants of Noosaville have elevated Queensland seafood to a culinary art form — coral trout, Mooloolaba king prawns, and Hervey Bay scallops appear on menus that rival the best coastal restaurants in Australia.

Hinterland Farm Visit
The hinterland farms supplying Noosa's restaurants operate within an hour of Hastings Street — visiting a macadamia farm, a tropical fruit orchard, or an avocado grove connects the restaurant food to its origin.
- 5
Noosa Chocolate Factory
The Noosa Chocolate Factory sources Queensland-grown cacao and roasts and processes it in-store — the bean-to-bar process is visible from the factory floor, and the single-origin bars reflect the character of their source.

Hastings Street Dining End
The eastern end of Hastings Street is where the best dining is concentrated — with the national park entrance metres away, these restaurants combine the finest produce with the most beautiful beach setting in Queensland.
