Canberra Food and Wine Expo

If there’s one thing we love more than food and wine, it’s boundless amounts of it in one place!

We’re calling all foodies, because from the 9th – 11^th February the Canberra Food and Wine Expo will be hitting the capital in force.

It’s no secret that Australia holds some of the finest and most diverse local produce, and the Canberra Food and Wine Expo is a testament to just that.

If you’re looking for the perfect drop, you will find yourself in awe of the sheer amount of quality wines on offer. Journey through Hunter Valley indulgences from Peterson House, and First Creek, to international award winners like Pieroth and La Bastide. We suggest that you embrace the fact that you will be double parked for most of the day, and enjoy the opportunity to enjoy such a unique range in one place.

If you have a keen eye for a good brew, you will be thrilled to hear that there is a selection of amazing breweries and liqueur collections to explore during your visit. Keep a keen eye out for names like Grand Ridge Brewery, Cece Liqueur, Knocklofty Spirits, and Frank’s Cider.

It wouldn’t be a food and wine expo without copious amounts of delicious nibbles, so save your appetite for the ultimate food coma. Explore the art of antipasto with La Bastide, The Salami Shack, and The Smelly Cheese Shop, and take your palette on a journey with Flavour and Spice, and Roza’s Gourmet Sauces. Finish the day on a sweet note with Fig Jam Crêperie, or treat yourself to some local Australian honey from the Perfect Honey Company.

Once you’re well and truly in heaven due to pure indulgence, QT headquarters is just a short walk from the action, and the perfect place to spend the night getting your relax on.
