Get READY for world-class food and wine festival

READY 

From celebrity chef masterclasses and curated cocktail sessions to live music and long lunches by the bay, Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival is fast becoming one of Australia’s most-loved food events… and it’s happening on the Redcliffe Peninsula this month.

Now in its seventh year, the festival is back bigger than ever from August 22-24, stretching across more than one kilometre of waterfront at Woody Point’s Apex Park in its largest footprint to date.

This year’s event will include about 180 food and drink exhibitors, three music stages, and a curated selection of masterclasses and dining experiences, from pasta making and cocktail shaking to free wine masterclasses hosted by some of the best in the business.

Celebrity chefs appearing at this year’s festival include Julie Goodwin, Miguel Maestre, Mike Reid, Matt Golinski, Alastair McLeod, Simone and Viviana - the 2024 My Kitchen Rules winners, Kim McCosker and Dominique Rizzo.

Festival CEO Shane Newcombe says this year’s program reflects a significant investment in guest experiences.

“We’ve listened to feedback and dialled everything up for 2025, from 200 per cent more shade structures and double the seating, to a record number of premium events and immersive experiences,” he says.

“Our expanded offering means festivalgoers can truly curate their own weekend, from relaxed grazing to intimate encounters with leading chefs, wineries and gourmet food producers.

“Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival isn’t just another weekend out, it’s a major moment on the national events calendar, bringing together winemakers, producers and chefs from across Australia, right here at home.”

Festivalgoers can secure a day pass to the Festival Precinct, which includes access to live cooking demonstrations, market stalls, pop-up bars, and live music across three vibrant zones—The MarketPlace, The Cellar Door, and The Springs.

For those wanting to supercharge their festival weekend, the 2025 program has more premium ticketed events, including celebrity chef lunches and dinners, high teas, wine, spirit and cheese masterclasses, immersive workshops, local produce showcases, and unexpected fusions of food, comedy and live music.

Guests can also discover the all-new Oasis Club, a premium VIP precinct offering indulgent views and elevated hospitality.

Friday Locals Tickets thanks to Ausbuild have already sold out, but there’s still time for City of Moreton Bay residents to secure a Sunday spot at discounted pricing.
