2026 Awards Launch

The South Australian Premier’s Food and Beverage Industry Awards are back for 2026 —shining a spotlight on the people, products and businesses driving our state’s largest manufacturing industry forward.

Join us on Sunday 3 May as we officially kick off South Australia’s biggest celebration of food and beverage industry excellence.

Be among the first to discover this year’s award categories and hear what’s new for 2026, while connecting with past winners, judges, industry leaders and entrants.

We are delighted to host this event in partnership with the Adelaide Showground and the Royal Agricultural & Horticultural Society of South Australia at a time that coincides with the Adelaide Showgrounds Farmers’ Markets, a thriving hub for small producers, sustainable practices, and local innovation. Please allow some extra time before or after our event to visit the Market and support our local producers.
