The Good Food & Wine Show makes a stellar return in 2023 to celebrate the very best Australian produce, winemakers, artisans, and chefs from around the nation.
In its 22nd year, the Show will take guests on a foodie journey around the country’s top wine regions; pour tipples of over 500+ wines from the likes of Barossa, McLaren Vale, 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.
As one of Australia’s most renowned gastronomic cities, Melbourne will host the first of four Shows on 19 – 21 May, followed by Sydney (23 – 25 June), Perth (21 – 23 July) and the finale in Brisbane (27 – 29 October).
With Melbourne tickets officially on sale today, 16 March 2023 from $35PP, guests are encouraged to secure their places or risk missing out on new experiences and fan favourites returning to the Show.
Celebrity chefs, Miguel Maestre, Nagi Maehashi of RecipeTin Eats, and Justine Schofield 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 and Kirsten Tibballs, will also take over two brand new stages to demonstrate their culinary flare and expertise – The v2food Plant Based Stage and The Baking stage.
The three-day event will see the return of over 250 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, and McLaren Vale.
Adding to the excitement of the 2023 chef line up comes brand new masterclasses featuring
