"Welcome to Five Senses Coffee"

Every year in March, foodies from all around Victoria start salivating in expectation of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. The Festival attracts a massive 300,000 people to more than 200 events over 17 days, and is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the State’s most outstanding local produce.

Five Senses Coffee was invited to participate in the Red Hill Long Lunch, serving extraordinary coffee to a bustling crowd of leisurely lunchers. The lunch was a triumph of cooperation, with eight chefs, 12 wineries and countless local suppliers working together to create a sumptuous three course meal for 250 guests.

A raffle was held to raise money for the Sustainability Centre at Balnarring Primary School. An incredible $3,800 was raised, and two lucky guests took home a hamper overflowing with delectable treats from local producers. An additional $3,850 was raised by the Red Hill Long Lunch Committee for the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. Not only did the lunch raise much-needed funds for two of Victoria’s most deserving charities, but it meant lunchers could assure themselves that they weren’t simply indulging their tastebuds — they were doing it for a good cause!
