Feast in the Fields will give supporters the chance to enjoy a lazy, long lunch, prepared by acclaimed chefs Adrian Richardson and Texan Andrew Ormsby.
The October 18 event at Campbells Forest, 18 minutes from Bendigo's CBD, kick-offs at 1pm.
Celebrity chef Richardson, well known for his TV series Secret Meat Business, and Ormsby will prepare a feast using local produce.
Ormsby heads one of Dallas' top cartering companies and previously spent seven years catering for gala functions and Royality at the Victorian Arts Centre.
Bendigo FC president Robyn Williams securing the services of Richardson and Ormsby was a big win for the club.
"Anyone who considers themselves a foodie needs no introduction to Adrian Richardson," she said.
"The owner of La Luna Bistro, the character you have seen on Masterchef, Good Chef Bad Chef and Ready Steady Cook is even more fun in the flesh.
The three-course feast, including lamb, port and local wines and coffee, will be served in an open marquee in the picturesque surrounds of Campbell's Forest.
Musical entertainment will be provided by Triple J Unearthed artist Alice Skye Anderson.
Tickets for the event are $130, with the optional extra of a a return bus from Bendigo. Bookings are essential at http://www.trybooking.com/159435
