South Bank's signature food and wine event, Regional Flavours which showcases Queensland produce and celebrates those who grow and cook it, returns for its fourth year this weekend, bringing with it Brisbane's foodie and green thumb population.

This year the theme of 'What does our food say about us?' highlights the amazing variety of Queensland's food traditions, from indigenous foods turned gourmet to the influence of the many migrant groups who have settled here.

This fest is a grazer's delight, with more than 100 stalls from which to sample wine, cheese, olives, chocolate, fruit and vegetables from Queensland's prime regions fom the Lower Burnett, Lockyer Valley and Granite Belt to the Far North.
