The Chefs Gala Lunch
About
Join us for one of the Mornington Peninsula's most celebrated culinary events, the The Chefs Gala Lunch, where exceptional food, great company, and a generous spirit come together for an unforgettable afternoon on the Peninsula.The Venues
This year's Gala Lunch brings together seven of the region's most exciting culinary talents under one roof for a curated, collaborative feast unlike anything else on the Peninsula calendar:
Onda
Pompette
The Continental Sorrento
Point Leo Estate
Alturo
Italico
Mubble
From the sun-drenched Mediterranean spirit of Onda at the Sorrento Ferry Terminal, to the effortlessly charming French-influenced small plates of Pompette, to the grandeur of The Continental Sorrento and the world-class culinary pedigree of Point Leo Estate, each venue brings its own distinct character to a menu that celebrates the very best the Mornington Peninsula has to offer.
A curated selection of wines and beers will ensure every course is perfectly paired.

Supporting a Great Cause
The Taste Sorrento Gala Lunch carries a meaningful purpose beyond the food and festivities. The event proudly supports:
The Sorrento Chamber of Commerce
The Portsea Camp, a not-for-profit organisation that has transformed the lives of over 70,000 Victorian children since 1946
Fundraising on the day will go directly to the Making a Difference Program, which removes barriers for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, giving them access to camping, wellbeing, leadership, and outdoor education experiences that can change the course of a young life.
Come for the food. Stay for the stories. Leave knowing you've made a difference.
