Brisbane food show adds Moreton Bay Pavilion for 23–25 October 2026

Brisbane’s Good Food & Wine Show is scheduled for 23–25 October 2026 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, with a new Moreton Bay Pavilion bringing nearby food and drink businesses into the city event. The organiser’s announcement highlights preserves, berry products, craft beer and small-batch spirits among the pavilion’s planned offerings.

For Brisbane residents choosing an October outing, the regional pavilion adds a practical reason to look beyond the celebrity cooking stages: a chance to meet producers from the area around the city and ask about the products they make. It is an announced programme for the coming show, rather than a report of stalls already visited.

Local makers in the new pavilion

The organiser lists Joyous Jams, whose Sarah and David Carmichael make small batches of jams, marmalades, relishes and chutneys in Elimbah using locally grown produce. Another participant, My Berries, works with Australian growers to turn surplus fruit into frozen and freeze-dried berry products, according to the pavilion announcement.

The same announcement includes Hip Hops Brewers, based in Brendale, and Peninsula Distilling from the Redcliffe Peninsula. It also describes Kakadu Organics as an Aboriginal-owned, female-led business working with native foods and botanicals. These are examples from the organiser’s participant preview; the list should be checked again before attending for a particular producer.

The pavilion groups those businesses within a wider food and wine exhibition. Visitors can use it as a starting point for comparing products or learning about the makers, while allowing time for other parts of the show. No sales totals or visitor numbers for the 2026 edition are available from an event that has yet to take place.

Dates, venue and opening hours

The venue is on Grey Street in South Brisbane. The organiser’s Brisbane FAQ gives different opening times for Sunday, so visitors should check the day on their ticket before planning an early arrival. All times below are local Brisbane time.

The FAQ lists train, bus, car and rideshare as ways to reach the centre, and says parking is paid. Checking the venue’s transport information alongside the show timetable will help visitors allow for their arrival and departure.

Entry tickets and extras are separate decisions

The Brisbane ticket page currently advertises day-specific adult general admission from A$49.95 and a flexi adult ticket from A$54.95. These are advertised starting prices, not a quotation for every booking or ticket package. Check the current booking total and conditions before paying.

General admission includes live cooking demonstrations and access to the show’s exhibitor areas. The FAQ says seating in the Good Food Kitchen is first come, first served. Masterclasses and other bookable experiences need their own arrangements: the FAQ says a show entry ticket is required as well, so buying an experience should not be assumed to cover admission unless the selected package explicitly includes it. A tasting glass is also available as an add-on rather than automatically included with ordinary general admission.

WeekendNotes Brisbane previews the same three-day event and its cooking demonstrations, makers and masterclasses. Its coverage is a programme preview, not an on-site assessment of food quality or a guarantee of availability.
