31 AUG - 3 SEP 2026 | Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre
Fine Food Australia welcomes the United States as its Inaugural Official Country Partner for 2026. Represented by the USDA, the partnership celebrates America’s dynamic food culture, spirit of innovation, and growing trade presence in the Australian market — and brings it all to Melbourne this September.
For the first time, Fine Food Australia welcomes the United States as its official Country Partner. In partnership with the USDA, the USA Pavilion brings a dedicated showcase of American food, beverage and ingredient brands to the show floor, giving Australian buyers direct access to products, producers and partnerships from across the US.
Tastings, talks and networking — here’s what’s happening across four days.
Meet the American brands showcasing at Fine Food Australia 2026.
American food culture has long shaped Melbourne’s dining scene — from craft cocktail bars in Fitzroy to smash burgers across the CBD. And September 2026 takes that to another level. The NFL’s first-ever regular season game in Australia falls just eight days after Fine Food closes, with 150% more Americans flying in and the MCG selling out in under 30 minutes.
The appetite for U.S. food and culture in Melbourne has never been greater.
The US is Australia’s second-largest source of imported food and beverage products — and that trade is growing fast. The USA Pavilion at Fine Food Australia is where it hits the show floor, putting American producers and Australian buyers face to face.
