Melbourne Food and Wine Festival Greenhouse by Joost utilises sustainable ideas in every green corner of the building, from food sourcing and production, through to architecture, building materials and furniture design.

With a verdant rooftop bar housing over 30 plants and a luscious garden scaling the walls, it’s a tranquil space to soak up the Festival’s buzzing atmosphere.

Celebrating a philosophy of seasonal food in its freshest form, the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu by Matt Stone is truly ‘local’ featuring wheat milled onsite; herbs cut from the rooftop garden; and yoghurt and butter made from organic milk and cream.

Created by Melbourne visionary and sustainable designer, Joost Bakker, this is the most ambitious Greenhouse to date. Miss it and you’ve missed it forever.

Presenting an amplified reality of these culinary greats and Festival alumni seemingly gathered in one location, MasterClass in Portrait was shot across five foodie capitals - London, San Sebastián, New York, Paris and Melbourne – and then woven together into one powerful photographic piece. Featuring stars Anthony Bourdain, Fergus Henderson, Stephanie Alexander, George Calombaris and Thomas Keller, alongside other global luminaries.MasterClass in Portrait marries 20 years of the Festival’s history with Melbourne’s enduring place on the gastronomic map. Don’t miss your chance to see it firsthand.
