Forget staying indoors this winter: one of Australia’s best food, wine and produce celebrations is on soon, with a handful of tickets still up for grabs. Noosa Food & Wine Festival, which began in 2003, returns from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, June 14, once again transforming the idyllic coastal town into a full-throttle food lover’s paradise. BYO thongs and breezy looks.
Across the four days, the laid-back holiday hotspot will host everything from world-class collaborations to sun-drenched long lunches, beachside parties and wow-worthy dinners – all paired with stunning coastal and hinterland backdrops.
“Noosa’s dining scene is thriving, and the return of the Noosa Food & Wine brand this year celebrates our region’s legacy and culinary story. Our 2026 program is a dynamic mix of homegrown talent, world-class venues, and the unmistakable energy of Noosa Food & Wine Festival,” says festival director John Guise.

Celebrating the best local and international talent, as well as the incredible produce grown in the region, the festival is made up of three key parts: the Signature Events, the Restaurant Series and the American Express Festival Village.
While some of the big-ticket signature events have already sold out (looking at you, Sunset Sessions: Beachside Dinner), there are still plenty of events with tickets available. Check out the full line-up here – and our top picks here.
