Brisbane will host the finale of the National tour from 27-29 October, following a delectable journey around the nation commencing in Melbourne in May, followed by Sydney in June and Perth in July.
Celebrity chefs, Nagi Maehashi of RecipeTin Eats, Miguel Maestre, Justine Schofield, and Kirsten Tibballs will ignite the stages with flavour on The Kitchen by Harris Scarfe, alongside Northern Ireland-Australian celebrity chef Alastair McLeod, the Master of Ceremonies for all events.
Fan favourites, Brendan Pang and Miguel Maestre will also take over the brand v2food Plant-Based Cooking Stage to demonstrate their culinary flare and expertise.
The three-day event will see the return of over 300 exhibitors showcasing their unique produce and artisan expertise. Step inside the Cheese Corner, the destination for all things cheese; the Good Food Village, a market style hub to try and buy artisan products from local producers; and the Wine Regions – Barossa, Margaret River, Clare Valley, Southern Queensland and McLaren Vale.
Adding to the excitement of the 2023 chef line up comes brand new masterclasses featuring some of Australia’s most loved brands.
Adding some fizz to the mix this year, the SodaStream Mixology Moments masterclass offers guests the chance to create their own cocktails or mocktails to spark the senses, adding a creative twist to a classic or shaking up a new creation.
Wine enthusiasts can attend a palate appreciation class at the RIEDEL Drinks Lab hosted by wine expert Nick Ryan and sample the top wine varieties at the ever-popular Wine Selectors Wine and Food Tasting Rooms, an intimate wine pairing and tasting experience with Australia’s top drops.
For those who fancy a washed-rind, aged or a little smelly bite, The Smelly Cheese
masterclass is back for another year, guiding aspiring curd-nerds through artisanal cheese masterclasses and hand-selected Australian and international cheeses from France’s cheese expert, Valérie Henbest.
Lovers of gin, wine, cheese, and all things fine can elevate their day out with a Cheese, Wine or Gin Lovers ticket or experience the VIP Margaret River Lounge. Spirit fans will be spoiled for choice this year with the Show’s Spirits Platform exhibiting a selection of their top brands, including Cointreau, Fiorente, Villa Massa and Licor 43 as part of the Cocktail Garden.
With over 600 wines and spirit varieties available to taste at each show, the DrinkWise tasting trackers and scratchie cards will be making a return this year to help guests keep track of their tastings and have a safe and enjoyable experience on their visit.
