A Feast Awaits Inside MCEC’s Glittering Halls
From May 30 to June 1, 2025, this is exactly what unfolds as the Melbourne Good Food & Wine Show 2025 returns for its 25th year. It offers a three-day weekend celebration where every corner promises a new flavour discovery.
Imagine stepping into the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. You are greeted by the heady aroma of oak-aged Shiraz, the sizzle of chefs at their stations, and the buzz of fellow food lovers swinging tasting glasses in hand.
A Celebration of Discoveries
Over 300 of Australia’s finest food and beverage producers will congregate under the South Wharf roof. They will offer an unparalleled showcase of artisan cheeses, boutique spirits, craft beers, and boutique wines from Barossa to Margaret River.
Attendees can wander from stall to stall, discovering hard-to-find pantry staples, savoury bites, and decadent sweets. Meanwhile, they can connect face-to-face with the makers behind each product.
Tailored Ticket Experiences at the Good Food & Wine Show
Entry tickets grant access to every free feature of the show. Additionally, you have the option to enhance your visit by adding paid masterclasses that delve deep into niche tastings and hands-on workshops.
For those seeking a one-day adventure, the Flexi Ticket allows entry on any day of choice. On the other hand, the Multi-Day Pass ensures you don’t miss a moment of the three-day celebration.
Premium Passes for Passionate Palates
The Wine Lover Ticket elevates the experience with a branded tasting glass, a stylish tote bag, and a twin-pack of premium Australian wine valued at $60. Plus, it includes a copy of Selector Magazine and an exclusive wine guide to navigate “Under the Counter” tastings of hidden-gem vintages.
Cheese aficionados can opt for the Cheese Lover Ticket, which pairs entry with a 45-minute masterclass guided by Valérie Henbest of Smelly Cheese Co. This session explores the art and science of cheese pairing.
Gin enthusiasts aren’t left behind with our Gin Lover Ticket, presented by Sodasmith. This includes a gin-themed gift and an intimate masterclass with leading distillers to sample signature cocktails and uncover flavour secrets.
Live Demonstrations & Masterclasses
Beyond sampling, the Show brings culinary icons to stage with hourly live cooking demonstrations. These span global cuisines and cutting-edge techniques. In dedicated tasting theatres, you can master the delicate interplay of food and drink, from chocolate and cheese pairings to guided wine flights. Booking one of the hands-on classes that sell out fast is recommended.
The Melbourne Setting
Set against Melbourne’s iconic skyline, the MCEC provides a spacious, climate-controlled venue. It perfectly complements the city’s reputation as a global food capital. Since its inception in 2001, the Good Food & Wine Show has grown into one of Australia’s most anticipated public exhibitions. It drives culinary innovation, supports local producers, and unites food lovers in one grand celebration.
