Catalina x Florcita: An Afternoon Afloat
PRESENTED BY
Step aboard Noosa’s most iconic vessel for an afternoon where flavour, sun, and river life come together in perfect harmony. Presented by Florcita Tequila, this exclusive experience combines world-class cuisine, premium beverages, and the effortless beauty of the Noosa River.
Glide along the river to curated sounds from a live DJ, setting a relaxed, sunlit rhythm as you enjoy Florcita’s premium tequila alongside a selection of exceptional drinks from our festival partners. It’s a Sunday escape made for great taste, golden-hour views, and memories that linger long after the last pour.
Helmed by Chef Jason Jones, the culinary mind behind Melbourne’s acclaimed Mamasita and Noosa’s own Bandita, this menu celebrates bold, Latin inspired flavours with a refined coastal twist, crafted to complement every sip.
Florcita Tequila
Florcita Tequila is proud to partner with the Noosa Food & Wine Festival for 2026, bringing a fresh and joyful spirit to Australia’s tequila scene.
Created with a bold vision to “set tequila free,” Florcita redefines the drink from a late-night dare to a social sip worth remembering.
Crafted by the García Ramírez family in Jalisco, Florcita’s 100% de agave tequila delivers a smooth, fruit-forward flavour with notes of apple, pear, citrus, and a hint of white pepper. With recent Gold and Silver wins at IWSC 2025, Florcita is fast becoming the tequila everyone’s talking about. Whether it’s a Paloma in hand, a sparkling Margarita in the park, or a Sunday session shared among friends — Florcita is tequila to remember.
Bandita
As the co-founder of Melbourne’s iconic Mamasita, Jason played a key role in shaping Australia’s modern Mexican dining scene before expanding his vision internationally with a series of successful venues in Singapore. In 2022, he brought his expertise back to Australia, launching Bandita in Noosaville.
With a signature style that combines vibrant ingredients with refined technique, Jason’s dishes are made for long, sun-drenched afternoons and good times – the perfect fit for tour Catalina Afternoon Afloat
