Slow Food Canberra Capital & Country Convivium

OUR EVENTS

Members of Slow Food's Canberra — Capital and Country Convivium (4Cs) have lots of events to choose from — about 40 per year! We organise about two-thirds of them; the remainder are held by others and we go along as a group.

You've taken me places I've never been before!

Our interests and circumstances vary widely, so some of us prefer dinners, others long-table lunches, and some are interested in seeing what local producers are doing or in visiting members' gardens. Our choices also vary by season.

4Cs events are like ingredients on a shelf — you pick the ones that interest you!

News of upcoming events comes via our colourful local magazine, 4Czons Events, which is sent out via email. It also has liinks to interesting articles, and reports by our members of culinary adentures during their travels overseas and interstate. Here's a sample page. If you would like to receive a recent copy of 4Czons Events by email, just ask! — use the Contact us page.

Major events are also posted on the Slow Food international website.

"Convivium" struck us as an unusual word at first, but conviviality is definitely the keyword of Slow Food Canberra. Ever since our first event, we've felt warmly welcome — we fit right in."

Local provedores
		At our "A Taste of Slow" fair in Canberra, local producers and provedores were a big attraction. Click here for more photos.

Wines and beers
		Canberra's vineyards and wineries are developing a strong reputation. Same too on the beers front! Click here for more photos of our visits.

A member's garden
		Some of our members believe that one of the best ways of following the Slow Food philosophy is to "grow your own". Click here for more photos of the garden of one of those members.

These are just some of the examples from our diverse program. There's lots more! Come along to a 4Cs event and find out for yourself — see the Contact us page.
