Anthea Loucas Bosha champions Melbourne’s food culture

·

Anthea Loucas Bosha, CEO of Food & Drink Victoria, has played a pivotal role in shaping the city’s food scene, particularly through her leadership of the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival.

Under her guidance, the festival has brought international chefs to Melbourne while highlighting the best of local talent and produce.

“We can grow or make virtually anything in Victoria,” she told Sydney Morning Herald, underscoring her commitment to promoting local producers, who contribute to nearly a quarter of Australia’s food exports.

Her journey into the food industry has been anything but conventional. Born to Greek Cypriot parents in Melbourne, Loucas Bosha’s love for food was cultivated at home, where her parents, both hardworking entrepreneurs, were known for their hospitality.

Initially aspiring to be a sports journalist, Loucas Bosha shifted her focus to media.

Despite her success, Loucas Bosha faced personal challenges, including the heartbreaking loss of a child in 2012. She chose to return to Melbourne and eventually took up her current role with Food & Drink Victoria, where she now champions the state’s culinary culture.

Reflecting on her career, Loucas Bosha notes, “My passion for Melbourne and food brought all my worlds together.”

With a clear vision for the future, Loucas Bosha continues to make an indelible mark on Melbourne’s food landscape, turning the festival into a year-round platform for celebrating the state’s diverse food and drink culture.
