Melbourne's Biggest Gluten-Free Expo Returns

Mark your diaries for October 5th and 6th—the Coeliac Australia Gluten-Free Expo is back at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, and it’s more than just a food fest. Yes, you’ll be nibbling on treats from some of the best gluten-free brands, but there’s also a whole heap of useful info from top experts. It’s not every day you get to snack and learn at the same time.

Why This Event Matters (and Why You Should Care)

This isn’t your average market stall setup. We’re talking about Melbourne’s biggest gluten-free expo, where you can not only taste-test all the new products you’ve been dying to try but also load up your pantry with everything from snacks to essentials, no questioning the ingredients. And for the gluten-avoiding beer enthusiasts, Two Bays Brewing Co. will be pouring the good stuff, alongside the likes of Well and Good, Arnotts, and Venerdi. The best part? Every single bite is gluten-free, no awkward explanations necessary.

But it’s not just about stuffing your face (though we highly recommend it). There’s also the Education Stage where the real magic happens. Picture this: you’re sipping on your gluten-free brew, listening to Associate Professor Jason Tye-Din or dietitian Dakota Rhys-Jones drop wisdom on coeliac disease management, or maybe jotting down notes as Kim McCosker of Four Ingredients fame teaches you to whip up something spectacular without gluten even entering the chat.

Whether you’re deep in the gluten-free trenches or just beginning your journey, there’s something here for you. Coeliac Australia has packed the weekend with info that could genuinely make life easier, whether that’s understanding the latest research or getting practical kitchen hacks to keep things tasty and stress-free.

Simply Wize is Back (and Better Than Ever)

We couldn’t talk about this event without giving a big shout-out to Simply Wize, who’ve been champions of gluten-free living for over a decade. As the Gold Sponsor for the 2024/2025 season, they’re bringing their A-game once again, proving that just because it’s gluten-free, doesn’t mean you’re missing out. If you’ve ever thought gluten-free food was a compromise, these guys are here to change your mind.
