The story

Good Food and Wine Show in Cape Town/Johannesburg

The Good Food and Wine Show is a long-running consumer food and wine expo held at convention centres in Cape Town and Johannesburg, historically also staged in Durban, combining wine tastings from South African producers with celebrity chef demonstrations and specialty food exhibitors.

The Good Food and Wine Show has for years anchored South Africa's consumer food and wine expo calendar, staging editions in Cape Town, Johannesburg and, historically, Durban within the same season.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The show has run its programme around themed chef demonstration stages, including a Chef's Open Theatre and a more intimate Chef's Table format, drawing high-profile names such as Marco Pierre White and South African television chefs Jan-Hendrik van der Westhuizen and Jenny Morris to cook live in front of the public across multiple sessions each day

02

The mystery stays covered

Past editions have used the show to spotlight social issues within the food industry, including a themed year focused on food waste that highlighted the scale of food wasted annually in South Africa alongside food insecurity statistics, shown at the entrance to the Johannesburg venue

03

The city starts moving

The event has historically run across three South African cities in the same season, giving it a national footprint most consumer food shows in the country do not attempt
