Brisbane’s most delicious day out is back. On Sunday July 27, the James St Food + Wine Trail returns to transform the city’s tastiest street into a sun-soaked flavour festival, featuring more venues, more dishes and more street-side buzz than ever before.

For one flavour-packed day, James St will close to traffic as 26 of the precinct’s top dining spots take to the street, dishing up over 170 restaurant-quality dishes from more than 40 market stalls. It’s the trail’s biggest line-up to date, with longtime favourites joining forces with exciting newcomers to showcase the full spectrum of local culinary talent.

Crowd favourites like Gerard’s, ESSA, sAme sAme, Hellenika, Cru Bar, Sushi Room, Gemelli, The Green and Jocelyn’s Provisions will return alongside trail newcomers Hideki Izakaya and Penelope. Among the headline bites, Hellenika will be carving charcoal lamb off the spit, Gerard’s will fire up its pulled eggplant man’oushe, ESSA is putting a luxe spin on comfort food with fried chicken topped with caviar, and Sushi Room is pairing fresh tuna sashimi with icy yuzu slushies.

Biànca is going all in on dessert this year, debuting a dedicated sweets stall serving its much-loved bomboloni, while Jocelyn’s Provisions will revive its colourful 100s & 1000s lamingtons. For those craving something truly decadent, Gelato Messina returns with its Gold Digger – deep-fried ice-cream with caramel and vanilla, chocolate pudding, biscuit crumb and dulce de leche.

Live chef demonstrations will also return to the trail, including Sushi Room’s theatrical whole tuna carving. And while the food is the hero, there’s no shortage of entertainment – roving musicians, DJ sets and family-friendly fun will keep the street pumping from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

A slice of Italian luxury and cutting-edge wellness is making its way to Brisbane. Technogym, the globally renowned Italian brand synonymous with high-end fitness equipment and a holistic wellness lifestyle, has announced it will be opening a new ground-floor retail showroom on Festival Place, in the heart of Brisbane’s premier design precinct, Long Island Brisbane.

For those in the know, Technogym is far more than just gym equipment. Hailing from Cesena, Italy, the brand has cultivated a reputation as “The Wellness Company,” blending impeccable Italian design with biomechanical precision and digital innovation. For over 40 years, Technogym has been the choice for world-class athletes, luxury hotels, exclusive fitness clubs, and discerning homeowners, and has served as the Official Supplier to the last nine Olympic Games.

Now, Brisbanites will have direct access to this world of sophisticated wellness. The new showroom is poised to be a destination, not just a store. It will offer an immersive experience where clients can see, touch, and test the very same state-of-the-art equipment used by champions. From their sleek, aesthetically pleasing treadmills and ellipticals that double as design pieces, to their comprehensive strength training systems, the space will showcase the pinnacle of fitness engineering.

But the most exciting news lies in a groundbreaking new feature that will debut at the Brisbane location: the Technogym Checkup.

Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, the Technogym Checkup is a revolutionary new customer experience. This smart station will provide visitors with a personalized wellness assessment in minutes. By answering a series of guided questions and performing a few simple strength and balance tests on integrated equipment, the AI-powered system analyzes your key wellness metrics.

The result? You receive your “Wellness Age”—a comprehensive score that reflects your true physical standing compared to your chronological age. This powerful insight serves as a starting point for a completely tailored fitness journey. The system will then generate a bespoke training program, recommending specific exercises and equipment to help you improve your strength, balance, flexibility, and stamina, effectively helping you lower your Wellness Age.

“We are not just opening a store; we are creating a wellness hub for the Brisbane community,” a spokesperson for the brand stated. “Technogym has always been about a lifestyle. The new showroom, complete with the revolutionary Technogym Checkup, will empower locals to truly understand their health and provide them with the most beautiful and effective tools to enhance it.”

The arrival of Technogym in Brisbane signifies a new era of luxury retail for the city, one that champions health, design, and personalised technology.

The grand opening date is yet to be announced, but anticipation is already building for the arrival of Italian wellness excellence.
