South East Queensland’s largest, tastiest and most delicious celebration of food - Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival has wrapped up for 2025.
Heavy rain in the lead-up to the festival played havoc with the Woody Point site, forcing organisers to cancel Friday’s program (August 22 August 2025). However, the festival team worked around the clock to ensure the show could go on.
The sun was shining for Saturday and Sunday, with foodies flocking to the event from across SEQ and beyond.
They enjoyed live cooking demonstrations, rubbed shoulders with celebrity chefs, listened to live music and sampled the delights of Moreton Bay’s sensational food bowl.
Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival CEO Shane Newcombe said the team was thrilled to see visitors embrace the updated two-day format.
“While Mother Nature kept us on our toes at the start, the sunshine was out, the pans were sizzling, and the atmosphere was electric,” Mr Newcombe said.
“Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival is a celebration of the region’s best produce, flavours and talent, and we were excited to showcase it all across the jam-packed weekend.
“The national event saw Australia's finest producers, wineries and chefs come together alongside the very best of Moreton Bay.
“The who’s who of celebrity chefs added serious star power to this year’s festival, including Miguel Maestre, Julie Goodwin, Matt Golinski, Kim McCosker, MKR’s Simone and Viviana, Alastair McLeod, and Dom Rizzo.
“With more than 180 exhibitors and events, a huge program of masterclasses, signature dining experiences, and our brand-new VIP Oasis Club, festival-goers enjoyed an unforgettable weekend.”
