The Good Food and Wine Show makes a stellar return to the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Brisbane, this October to celebrate the
very best Australian produce, winemakers, artisans, and chefs from around the nation.
In its 22nd year, the Show takes guests on an epicurean journey around the country’s top wine
regions; pour tipples of over 500+ wines from the likes of Barossa, McLaren Vale, Southern
Queensland, Margaret River, and Clare Valley; plate up over 60 different cheeses from
Queensland to France; and host brand-new masterclasses and chef demonstrations like never
before.
Brisbane will host the finale of the National tour from 27-29 October, following a delectable
journey around the nation starting in Melbourne in May, followed by Sydney in June and
Perth in July.
Celebrity chefs, Nagi Maehashi of RecipeTin Eats, Miguel Maestre, Justine Schofield, and
Kirsten Tibballs will ignite the stages with flavour on The Kitchen by Harris Scarfe, alongside
Northern Ireland-Australian celebrity chef Alastair McLeod, the Master of Ceremonies for
all events.
Fan favourites, Brendan Pang, Miguel Maestre. Kirsten Tibballs, and Charlotte Ree will
also take over two brand new stages to demonstrate their culinary flare and expertise – The
v2food Plant-Based Cooking Stage and The Baking stage.
The three-day event will see the return of over 300 exhibitors showcasing their unique
produce and artisan expertise. Step inside the Cheese Corner, the destination for all things
cheese; the Good Food Village, a market style hub to try and buy artisan products from local
producers; and the Wine Regions – Barossa, Margaret River, Clare Valley, Southern
Queensland and McLaren Vale.
Adding to the excitement of the 2023 chef line up comes brand new masterclasses featuring
some of Australia’s most loved brands.
Adding some fizz to the mix this year, the SodaStream Mixology Moments masterclass
offers guests the chance to create their own cocktails or mocktails to spark the senses, adding
a creative twist to a classic or shaking up a new creation.
Wine enthusiasts can attend a palate appreciation class at the RIEDEL Drinks Lab hosted by
wine expert Nick Ryan and sample the top wine varieties at the ever-popular Wine Selectors
Wine and Food Tasting Rooms, an intimate wine pairing and tasting experience with
Australia’s top drops.
For those who fancy a washed-rind, aged or a little smelly bite, The Smelly Cheese
masterclass is back for another year, guiding aspiring curd-nerds through artisanal cheese
masterclasses and hand-selected Australian and international cheeses from France’s cheese
expert, Valérie Henbest.
Lovers of gin, wine, cheese, and all things fine can elevate their day out with a Cheese, Wine
or Gin Lovers ticket or experience the VIP Margaret River Lounge. Spirit fans will be
spoiled for choice this year with the Show’s Spirits Platform exhibiting a selection of their
top brands, including Cointreau, Fiorente, Villa Massa and Licor 43 as part of the Cocktail
Garden.
With over 600 wines and spirit varieties available to taste at each show, the DrinkWise tasting
trackers and scratchie cards will be making a return this year to help guests keep track of their
tastings and have a safe and enjoyable experience on their visit.
