March 1-3, 2019
Sudbury, Ontario
We hear that you like good food and drink.
(Really...who doesn’t?)
We are ravenous for all things delicious and think it might be because we were born and raised in the sweet and savoury hub of Northern Ontario...Sudbury.
Where else can you hunt, forage and fish for your meal, play a game of bingo for a steaming pile of porchetta and experience an always-legendary Sudbury Saturday Night?
We may be world wanderers and want to experience every taste and tour around the globe, but we wanted to honour and celebrate the place where we discovered our palate.
We invite you to join us on this northern culinary adventure in Sudbury, Ontario.
Proudly presented by the Flying For Flavour podcast!
Your Flavour Crew & Co-Hosts - Stephanie Piché, Cynthia Loiselle-Seguin, Stacy Fahner
