Departing soon: All Aboard the Mornington Express Wine and Dine Train again in 2019

It’s hard to believe that almost 12 months has passed since my first Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in conjunction with the hard-working volunteers of the Mornington Railway. It’s a day that my team and I will never forget.

We prepped the venue the day before the event in perfect warm conditions but the weather forecast was already filling us with dread. Sure enough, the heavens opened barely an hour before guests started to arrive the next day.

We couldn’t control the weather but I was determined that everyone would still experience an event to remember. So instead of serving canapes on the platform, we invited guests to board the train immediately.

Before long, the drinks were flowing and the rain thrumming against the roof of the train was just background noise. We served main course, featuring the best produce that the Mornington Peninsula has to offer, as the whistle sounded and the train left the platform.

As if rewarded for our efforts, the clouds broke and the Moorooduc platform was soon bathed in warm autumn sunshine. To celebrate, we welcomed guests back from the short trip to Mornington with dessert served on the platform – as we had planned all along!

I’m delighted to announce that 100 Mile Foodie and the Mornington Railway are once again teaming up under the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival banner. Let’s hope that Mother Nature is a little kinder this year but we’ll be ready regardless!

We’ll again be celebrating the produce and wine for which the Mornington Peninsula is famous across a plentiful three-course menu and guests will once again enjoy the unique journey from Moorooduc to Mornington via rail.

Our event is part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival’s Regional Weekend, which is dedicated to showcasing the producers, chefs and winemakers of regional Victoria. The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival is supported by Victoria’s tourism and major events company Visit Victoria and naming rights partner Bank of Melbourne

On a hot summers day 100 Mile Foodie came to Mount Martha and ran an amazing Turkish cooking class for a group of 20 of us. With a smile on her face and little printed cook books in hand Janice talked us through and demonstrated the creation of a number of delicious dishes. Everyone in the group got a chance to participate and had a great time in the kitchen. There was so much food and every dish was delightful. I know I walked away with a better understanding of Turkish cuisine with the knowledge and skills to recreate it at home. It was a great day that everyone in the group raved about!

We recently had a gathering of 45 of my husband Jamie's close friends and family to celebrate his 50th birthday. With very short notice gorgeous Marlene from 100 Mile Foodie suggested an amazing menu that catered for all. Using all local Mornington Peninsula produce and Marlene's experience the food was absolutely incredible. All of our guests were constantly commenting on how good each dish was and were blown away by the flavours. Marlene is so professional and organised and her food is so delicious that I can fully recommend her to cater for any function. Thank-you so much Marlene you made Jamie's day such a success!

I have used 100 Mile Foodie's services for 2 events now. On both occasions the food has been amazing, the service outstanding and the styling impressive. What really sets Marlene and 100 Mile Foodie apart is her passion for local produce, which shines through in her food and presentation.

Marlene ran a fantastic Turkish cooking class for us as part of a hen's weekend at a private house in Sorrento. The class was a great mix of demonstrations and hands on activities and Marlene was really flexible to work with us to achieve the feel we wanted for the evening. I can't wait to try some of the recipes at home!
