Melbourne: The World's Longest Lunch 21 March 2025

One of the biggest crowd event favourites (literally) of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, will take place on Friday 21 March 2025 at Kings Domain, Melbourne. 

Designed by internationally acclaimed chef Curtis Stone, The World's Longest Lunch will feature a three-course meal prepared by Curtis Stone Events, the festival’s new catering partner.

Curtis Stone, originally from Melbourne, began working in London under chef Marco Pierre White and later achieved global recognition through television appearances, bestselling cookbooks, and Michelin-starred restaurants in Los Angeles. 

The World's Longest Lunch taking place from 12-3pm, Friday 21 March 2025, spans over 600 metres of dining tables, providing a unique al fresco experience in the scenic Kings Domain.

The gourmet three-course meal is accompanied by wines from Tahbilk (Victoria's oldest family owned winery in Nagambie Lakes), beers from Bridge Road Brewers, Capi waters, and coffee from St. Ali. Guests will also receive a 50ml SPF50+ sun serum from Mecca Cosmetica. 

The 2025's World's Longest Lunch will also feature the Regent Lounge, hosted by Regent Seven Seas Cruises, where guests can enjoy cocktails and explore luxurious culinary travel experiences. Vegetarian and low-gluten food options are available.
