About

Celebrating the Best of South Australian Food and Beverage

The South Australian Premier’s Food and Beverage Industry Awards are back for 2025 — shining a spotlight on the people, products and businesses driving our state’s largest manufacturing industry forward.

For over 25 years, the awards have recognised excellence across the entire food value chain — from paddock to plate — evolving to have a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, mental health & wellbeing, and future growth.

Presented by Food South Australia, the state’s peak body for the food and beverage industry, the program honours both established businesses and emerging brands and showcases the incredible diversity and quality of what we produce right here in South Australia.

Whether you’re in the industry, a local food lover, or simply proud of our state’s success — this is your chance to discover, support and celebrate the best of SA’s food and beverage sector.

Discover the categories, check your eligibility and learn how to apply.
