Get your taste buds ready for the Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival

You love food. You love wine. And you LOVED the inaugural Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival last year. So in 2019 it’s back! Bigger, better, bolder and with more tannins than 2018. The 2019 edition is guaranteed to be a superior vintage.

Gourmands rejoice! This free festival precinct will once again wind its way down scenic Redcliffe Parade, offering foodies a feast for the eyes and a feast for the senses. A showcase of the region’s finest fresh produce and artisanal products curated by some of Australia’s top chefs, brewers and winemakers with the backdrop of stunning Moreton Bay.

Free entry to the festival precinct all weekend long plus an abundance of workshops and cooking classes for those who want to get hands-on, as well as other events to indulge in. The star of the festival will undoubtedly be the local produce so we recommend stocking up on homegrown and homemade treats from the Local Tastes Pavilion, before enjoying some locally caught seafood at the Seafood & Wine Deck.

This year the festival will welcome two special guests, Matt Sinclair and Alastair McLeod, who will be sharing some of their favourite recipes on the USC Seafood Cooking Stage. The 2019 program has been expanded to boast some new and exciting elements including an extended Craft Brews Bar down at Charlish Park, as well as some additional family - friendly activities including Sesame Lane’s pizza making workshops. But rest assured the best bits of last year are back! Including the Kindred Beach Teepee (where festival goers can laze in the sand, drink in hand and listen to a great live band) and Mon Komo Hotel’s Cabana Bar (if you’d like a cocktail or 12). And of course, Watch the sky ignite in a burst of colour and sparkle at 8pm on Saturday 7th September. Head to the Kindred Beach Teepee's for the best vantage point.

Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival is proudly delivered by Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism in partnership with Moreton Bay Regional Council and is supported by major partner Tourism and Events Queensland and major sponsors Kindred, Mon Komo Hotel, USC, The Courier Mail and Channel 9.
