Two Days of Pure Gluten-Free Goodness
By Bree Pagliuso|
Melbourne takes food seriously. From laneway cafés to bustling markets, this city is built on a love of eating well. But for those living with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance, that passion can come with limits. Enter the Melbourne Gluten Free Expo, 18–19 October 2025: two days where the city’s food culture is opened up for everyone.
Every bite is gluten-free, and brimming with the same creativity, flavour, and flair that Melbourne is famous for.
The Show Floor
Step into aisles stacked with gluten-free delights—fresh breads, pastas, pantry staples, snacks, sweets, and more. Whether you’re stocking up on trusted favourites or keen to try something new, it’s all in one place and completely gluten-free. With plenty of show specials, it’s also the perfect time to fill your bags and your pantry.
Learn Something New
Food is only part of the story. At the Coeliac Australia education stage, expert dietitians, medical practitioners, chefs, and authors share their knowledge. From the latest research on coeliac disease to everyday cooking hacks, it’s your chance to learn, ask questions, and walk away with practical tips that make gluten-free living easier—and tastier.
Enjoy the Food
When you’re ready for a break, follow the aromas to the street food and food truck zone. Every menu here is 100% gluten-free, so you can order freely and enjoy Melbourne’s love of food without second-guessing what’s on your plate.
Why It Matters
The Gluten Free Expo is proudly run by Coeliac Australia, the national charity supporting Australians with coeliac disease and related conditions. Beyond the food, it’s about connection, meeting people who understand the challenges, sharing credible information, and celebrating that gluten-free living can be full of flavour, variety, and joy.
In Melbourne, food is about joy—not stress. The Gluten Free Expo shows that gluten-free can be just as delicious, exciting, and worth celebrating.
