Sauce Day (Passata day) is a ritual for Italian/Australian family and friends to come together for a fun day creating traditional passata.

This year, our extended program includes 5 sauce making sessions, kids gnocchi making sessions, live music, roving entertainment, cooking demonstrations and specials from our traders.

Sauce Making

At one of our five hands-on sessions, you’ll use local tomatoes and learn the traditional techniques of authentic Italian tomato sauce making and you’ll get to take home your very own jar of sauce!

Anyone who loves Italian culture will enjoy these fun sessions, and the classes are suitable for all ages and cooking abilities. Children under 12 years of age must be accompanied by a supervising adult and should be included in the ticket of the adult attending.
