STM Loves: Taverna, Taste Great Southern, Smithsonian Starstruck, All She Wants for Christmas & summer fashion

详细摘要

A new venue that sings summer dining, an upcoming food festival with a slew of mouth-watering events, and an all-star cast audiobook that will make you want to clean your kitchen just so you can listen along.

Summer just got a whole lot tastier with the opening of The Marina Mindarie’s new poolside venue, Taverna. Expect Greek food, from yiros to honey-drizzled haloumi, plus an assortment of colourful cocktails, wines and beers. Indian Ocean Brewing Company is also brewing an exclusive Hellenic lager for the venue. All can all be enjoyed alfresco, or in a private cabana or sun lounge to really amp up the holiday vibes.

March is the perfect time to do exactly what the name says, and taste your way across the Great Southern during this annual culinary festival. From March 4 to 7, there is a basket of unique events stretching across the region from a 16-course experience with Fervor’s Paul “Yoda” Iskov at the historic Camp Quanranup to an oysters and riesling masterclass at Albany’s Whaling Station.

The virtual reality experience takes visitors on an interactive journey through the universe, where they can explore distant galaxies and even witness an exploding star. It draws on real astronomical data from telescopes including Hubble, James Webb and Chandra. Grab tickets from $34.50 at smithsonianstarstruck.com/perth.

The live music series has returned with a schedule of concerts for all to enjoy, free.
