Brisbane Good Food and Wine Show 2018

Overview

Every year, the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre becomes a culinary, boozy wonderland for three jam-packed days. An alley dedicated to cheese, wine almost as far as the eye can see, an array of food and beverage stalls serving up samples — yep, it's a reality.

That's the Good Food and Wine Show in a nutshell, with 2018's event hitting the city from Friday, October 26 to Sunday, October 28. If you've been before, you'll be eager to head along again. Basically, it's the Ekka of food and wine, just without the rides, the flu and the goldfish.

Tickets start at $30, although you can pay up to $140 for the VIP treatment, which comes with a special lounge area, a light lunch whenever you feel like it and a heap of freebies. Some of the workshops and masterclasses also cost extra; however if you're just keen to wander and enjoy samples, don't worry — that's all included in the regular admission.

A word from the wise: you'll be eating and drinking all day, but do make sure you have a light breakfast beforehand. Lining th stomach is always a good idea, and you'll thank us later.
