Victorian Salami Festival FAQ’s

Q:What is the Victorian Salami Festival?

A:The Victorian Salami Festival is a day where salami enthusiasts come together and celebrate their love for the art of salami. Centered around a delicious three course lunch, there is live music, a salami session with James Mele, a wine and salami pairing masterclass with Michael Dal Zotto ($30 per person, limited spaces), wine tastings, as well as the opportunity to vote for the People’s Choice Salami. Alongside the festival we run an annual salami competition. The festival is the day we announce our winners and award them their trophies and prizes.

Q:Do I need to be a salami maker to attend?

A:No, you don’t. The festival is open for all salami lovers to attend, regardless of if you have entered the competition or not.

Q:I can't make the festival - can I still enter a salami?

A:Yes, you can. Although we highly recommend you do attend as it’s such a great way to connect with other salami lovers and share your salami tips and tricks, plus collect your prize if you are a winner, also … bragging rights!

Q:How do I enter my salami?

A:Simply download the entry formhereand deliver your salami with your attached entry form to your closest drop off location, Dal Zotto Wines or My Slice of Life. If the drop off locations are too far away, you can submit your salami via post. Please speak to your post office worker about the correct packaging for salami sending. Please includeATTN: SALAMIon the outside of your package so we know as soon as it arrives.
