The nation’s favourite foodie event, the Good Food & Wine Show, is thrilled to announce it has partnered with Singapore Airlines to help visitor tastebuds take flight this year.
The VIP Lounge presented by Singapore Airlines will give show visitors a taste of their premium service offering, as well as the opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle that is the show floor. Via a limited number of Business Class tickets, the Singapore Airlines VIP Lounge will provide guests with comfort and privacy, as well as a food and beverage menu inspired by the airline’s first class and business class in-flight experience.
Priority boarding (aka express entry into the show) is of course part of the experience, and once inside the VIP Lounge, show travellers will enjoy a premium culinary experience with a matched selection of quality Australian wines. Award winning chef Andrew Ballard is behind the menu taking foodies on a flight of fancy, with an in-flight inspired lunch menu allowing guests to choose from three substantial meals. Business Class tickets also include complimentary alcoholic drinks (up to five wines or beers), sparkling water, tea and coffee, plus a Good Food & Wine Show tasting glass, RIEDEL gift, and VIP cloakroom service where all purchases can be stowed until take-off back home.
James Laing, Event Director of the Good Food & Wine Show, said the show’s partnership with the airline is an exciting one for the event. “Being the national carrier of a country known for its incredible food – and a city with 55 Michelin stars for its restaurants – makes Singapore Airlines a perfect pairing for the Good Food and Wine Show. We know good food and wine, and Singapore Airlines knows how to go the extra mile to provide and exceptional food and wine experience for its guests. The synergies are fantastic, and in partnership with them, our VIP Lounge will be all (business) class.”
In addition to the VIP Lounge presented by Singapore Airlines, this year’s shows will feature:
- The much-loved Cooking Main Stage where a roster of celebrity chefs will share their secrets whilst entertaining and inspiring with recipe ideas to take away.
