Overview

The Good Food & Wine Show will turn 25 this year – and, in one of the event's biggest editions yet, more than 300 exhibitors will converge on the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre for three days. Head along between Friday, May 30–Sunday, June 1 for tastings, masterclasses, demonstrations and more.

At the heart of the show is the Good Food Village, where you'll find stacks of mini-producers from all over Australia, including Noosa Black Garlic, Monkey Nuts, Kiwi Artisan Truffles and more. Once you've sampled your way through, head to the Harvey Norman Kitchen to a catch a cooking demo from the likes of Miguel Maestre, Georgie Calombaris or Shannon Bennett.

Also on the program is a Cheese Lover's Ticket, which buys you a masterclass with Valérie Henbest from Smelly Cheese Co., plus other goodies. Or, if chocolate's your thing, drop into a chocolate appreciation class with Kirsten Tibballs.

In between sessions, check out the Wine Selectors' themed tasting rooms, the VIP Lounge where chef Andrew Ballard will be serving lunch, the Sonos Sound Bar for soundtracked workshops, and the Cheese Corner to try some of Australia's best cheeses. You'll find out everything else you need to know over here.
