The Good Food & Wine Show + WIN tickets

INSPIRE, DISCOVER, SHARE, CELEBRATE The Good Food & Wine Show returns for 2014

This will be my first time attending The Good Food & Wine Show which I am very excited about as I have heard amazing things about the show. Although being on a health kick may restrict me of testing everything scrumptious that the show has to offer but I'm sure I can stretch the calories somewhere or make this my cheat meal... or day hehe! 

I am really excited to see what the show is all about and be able to find out, learn and get to know more about food and the delicious ways of cooking it. 

We hope you’re hungry Melbourne because the award winning Good Food & Wine Show, presented by Citi, is back again for 2014 and there is more to discover than ever!

For the first time ever, visitors will be able to buy complete dishes from exhibitors. Past shows have only been able to offer tasty samples but this year heralds the start of a new era at the Good Food & Wine Show, with foodies having their tastebuds tantalised while satisfying their appetites.

A sure-to-be highlight is the NEW Grazing Garden, where some of Melbourne’s most popular food trucks such as Trailer Made, Banh Mi Boys, Digging For Fire BBQ Kitchen and Yoghurt Culture will be serving delicious meals. Cuisines such as Vietnamese and Eastern European Street Food will be on offer in a convivial sitting space.

To help inspire visitors, the Good Food & Wine Show also proudly presents some of Australia’s best-loved and hottest chefs, including Matt Moran, Adam D’Sylva, Matt Stone, Jacques Reymond, Alla Wolf-Tasker and Sammy & Bella. These Australian chefs will be celebrating food with demonstrations in the Chef’s Theatre.

Celebrity chefs will be hosting sessions including Matt Moran’s Paddock To Plate, based on his hit series as seen on Foxtel’s The LifeStyle Channel, and Adriano Zumbo’s Zumbarons Masterclass, brought to the show by Kenwood.

For those looking for even more food and wine experiences, masterclass and VIP passes to many other features are available, including LifeStyle FOOD Chef’s Table, Casa Barilla Cooking School, Laucke Creative Kitchen, The Tasting Table (wine masterclass), Cheese Masterclass presented by Tucker’s Natural & Majella Wine and the Riedel A+ Australia Wine Bar with sessions designed by industry expert Aaron Brasher.

Among the new aspects of the show several popular favourites will also make their return, including the much-loved Tucker’s Natural Cheese Alley and Wine Theatre.
