00:03Firing up some of SA's best within the orchard it came from.
00:07We get to sit in an orchard and have a glass of champagne and something to eat.
00:12It's not even about food today, it's just about connection, story.
00:18More than 150 culinary connoisseurs held Tasting Australia events across the state,
00:24carving 29 years of food festivities into the history books.
00:28While Adelaide city centre dished up excellence,
00:32South Australia's Riverland tickled taste buds,
00:34serving local wines and canapes made out of quinces.
00:38The Riverland has got so much to offer.
00:42It's such a resilient area, such diversity in produce,
00:46and then what we do is maybe think about it not just about as a commodity,
00:51so wholesale, but how can you value add what we've got?
00:54Despite stormy conditions and more than 45 millimetres of rain,
00:58falling in some parts of the state on Saturday evening,
01:01celebrations continued.
01:03I feel like it's the break of the drought kind of rain.
01:06We're not expecting rain, but anyway, it's a beautiful venue.
01:10As the festival wraps up for another year,
01:12the news of SA becoming the first Australian state or territory
01:16to join the Michelin Guide remains on everybody's lips.
01:19But the location of where the first star will shine
01:22remains a divisive conversation.
01:25The Earth restaurant in Bury, so that was amazing.
01:28Oh, there you go.
01:28Yeah.
01:28There's a good plug.
01:29That's very hard to answer.
01:32There's been a lot of conversation about who's going to be listed
01:36and who's going to get a star and all those things,
01:38and if someone gets a star, that's fantastic,
01:40and if we get a number of restaurants listed, that's even better.
01:43Connecting people and produce one plate at a time.
