The annual Good Food and Wine Show – now in its 26th year! – is returning to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from May 29-31 for a globally diverse foodtopia of epic proportions.
You’ll get to hear from hundreds of local makers, producers and growers from across the country; see and meet your fave chefs; taste fabulous wines that you can take home; and the best part: eat! This year, there'll be more than 300 exhibitors showcasing the best in local and international cuisine.
From red curry and Japanese-inspired lamingtons to candy and condiments, the show is set to be a food lover's heaven and the perfect opportunity to expand your culinary horizons. Over at the main stage, a stellar line-up of celebrity chefs will share their secrets via live demonstrations, including Miguel Maestre, Kirsten Tibballs, Brendan Pang, Nat Thaipun, Vincent Yeow Lim, Jane de Graaff and George Georgievski.
The program has also expanded with the addition of two new major experiences. A hands-on Cooking School is coming to the show, featuring wonton workshops and classes on how to create your own chocolate and upgrade mid-week dinners. And there's a new dedicated bakery precinct, Baker’s Alley, which is set to bring together ten of the country’s most exciting independent bakeries (like Rustica and Tarts Anon) who will each create an exclusive baked masterpiece.
Plus, don't miss the chance to sample goodies from the wine pavilions and cheese corner, or treat yourself to a ticket to the all-day VIP lounge, which includes priority entry, five complimentary bevs, a goodie bag and a menu by former Australian Chef of the Year, Andrew Ballard.
