Wine and Tasting Experiences

Wine lovers can explore wine pavilions and dedicated tasting experiences throughout the show. The Wine Selectors Tasting Room offers guided sessions pairing Australian wines with complementary food.

The 2026 program includes experiences focused on brunch and bubbles, barbecue and red wine, afternoon grazing and wine, as well as Italian, French and Spanish inspired food and wine pairings. These sessions are designed to introduce visitors to different flavour combinations and help them understand the relationship between food and wine.

Masterclasses and Culinary Learning

The Good Food and Wine Show also provides specialist masterclasses for visitors who want a more interactive experience. Sessions cover wine, cheese, spirits, tea and food pairing.

Cheese enthusiasts can take part in dedicated experiences featuring Australian wines matched with selected cheeses.
