Welcome to Slow Food Hunter

SLOW Food Hunter Valley is a convivium of Slow Food, an international not-for-profit organisation founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions, people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world – people, communities, animals, plants and the environment. Slow Food is based in Bra, Italy. It has almost 100,000 members in 107 countries. New South Wales has 9 of Australia’s 36 Slow Food convivia. Slow Food Hunter Valley has a growing membership roughly 20 members including chefs, cooks, families, producers, retailers, students, food merchants, winemakers and scientists. Volunteers co-ordinate all of our activities. Search our website for Slow Food Hunter Valley projects, events, news and membership and links to the world of Slow Food through www.slowfood.com
