Brisbane Good Food and Wine Show

The Brisbane Good Food and Wine Show, now in its ninth year, will dig back to its origins and deliver a 2013 Show that’s all about local produce, good value, heaps of inclusions, freebies, samples and a chance to meet the makers directly. Mark the date in your calendar and get ready for a tasty day out when the 2013 Good Food and Wine Show is plucked from fresh, organic soil and served crisp in Brisbane from November 8 - 10.

Whether you love to cook or just want to be inspired by something new, the Show will provide a one-stop opportunity to gather recipe ideas, try free samples of local produce, coffee and wines, pick the brains of producers about cooking with their products and discover new kitchen tools, all while supporting many of Queensland’s local farms and manufacturers.
