From August 22 to 24, Moreton Bay will come alive with the clink of glasses and the unmistakable buzz of thousands of happy taste buds as the annual Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival turns a 1-km stretch of the Woody Point foreshore into a playground of gourmet delights. The 2025 program has dropped, tickets are on sale and it’s time to start planning – here’s everything you need to know …
After last year’s sold-out success, this year’s Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival promises even more to savour. General admission tickets start from just $30 (plus booking fee), giving you all-day access to the waterside Festival Precinct – a haven of food and drink stalls, two live cooking stages and three entertainment stages pulsing with live music and DJ beats. Over three jam-packed days, foodies can roam through the line-up of more than 80 artisan food producers, tasting and discovering everything from award-winning cheeses and fresh seafood to handmade sweet treats, small-batch condiments and so much more. Wine lovers can swirl and sip their way through drops from more than 20 wineries, while craft beer fans can kick back with a cold one at the buzzing pop-up bar precinct.
This year, the festival heats up with a star-powered line-up of celebrity chefs ready to dish out their secrets, stories and signature flavours. Food lovers can catch culinary favourites like Miguel Maestre, Matt Golinski, Alastair McLeod, Julie Goodwin, Mike Reid, Kim McCosker and 2024 MKR champions Viviana and Simone in action on the live-cooking stages. Plus, there’ll be plenty of chances to snap a selfie with your favourite star – and score some insider foodie secrets straight from the pros.
For those craving even more action, there’s a smorgasbord of add-on experiences that’ll supercharge your weekend. The festival allows you to choose your own adventure each day and weave in ticketed experiences like intimate long lunches and pop-up dinners with acclaimed chefs, exclusive morning teas, sunset sessions, after-dark comedy shows, paint-and-sip sessions, and masterclasses covering everything from wine and cheese to spirits. And if you’re feeling like upping the ante, add a touch of luxe by booking tickets to The Oasis Club – the festival’s exclusive VIP escape. For just $99 (plus booking fee), you’ll have full-day access to The Oasis Club, fast-lane entry to the festival precinct, three complimentary drinks, intimate meet-and-greets with celebrity chefs, access to workshops and demos in The Oasis precinct, plush VIP seating, luxe loos, a beauty lounge for touch-ups, and a stage with entertainment curated just for Oasis guests.
