Win a Double Pass to the Good Food and Wine Show Brisbane 2026

Brisbane foodies, get ready to eat, sip and savour your way through spring. We’re giving one lucky reader a double pass to the Good Food and Wine Show Brisbane, arriving 23-25 October 2026. Visit the official event website for full ticket details. For over two decades, the show has united Australia’s top chefs, winemakers and producers with tens of thousands of food lovers. As a result, it now draws more than 90,000 visitors nationally each year.

What’s New at the Good Food and Wine Show Brisbane 2026

This year, the event introduces Bakers Alley, a dedicated bakery precinct. Acclaimed pâtissier Kirsten Tibballs helped develop it. Independent bakers will each craft an exclusive creation, so you can only taste it at the show. For example, award-winning chef Andrew Ballard has made a Japanese-inspired lamington. Meanwhile, the new Cooking School lets up to 40 guests cook alongside celebrity chefs. Classes are hands-on and ticketed, and each one runs for 45 minutes. Four sessions run daily, and everyone leaves with something they’ve made.

Celebrity Chefs

Alastair McLeod hosts the Main Stage at the Good Food and Wine Show Brisbane. There, Miguel Maestre, Brendan Pang, Luke Nguyen, and Simone Prest and Viviana Birale share their best techniques. In addition, George Georgievski joins the Cooking School lineup. Sommelier Shanteh Wale guides the wine tastings. Likewise, cheese educator Valérie Henbest leads a special pairing of cheese, caviar and champagne. She was born and raised in Normandy, and the experience is for Cheese Lover ticket holders.
