Event Guide

This will be our 15th annual instalment and we’re proud to present this event in partnership with Singapore Airlines.

This year, we’re back with dozens of the names and faces that made the South Island a world-renowned collection of winemaking regions. It’s clear from the vibrant collection of South Island wineries joining us today – numbering close to 40 wineries – that the strength of our region is continuing to flourish.

You won’t want to miss the interactive action at the Singapore Airlines site – where you could win Premium Economy flights anywhere on the Singapore Airlines network*.

2025 sees The Breeze Restaurant Showcase – an exciting exploration through some of the regions favourite restaurants where plates large and small will tantalise the tastebuds. If street eats are more your style, we’ve curated a moreish selection of food trucks that will be sure to pair well with your favourite tipple.

For those eager to expand their wine and food knowledge, the Cooking Theatre or the famous Wine Seminar Lounge will be the perfect stop on your festival journey. With five exciting, and FREE workshops across the day, what will you discover – it could revolutionise your summer hosting! Consult the schedule in this event guide for details of the who, what and where.

No Wine & Food Festival would be complete without groovin’ tunes from exceptional local Kiwi musicians. Daily J, Cassie Henderson, Nathan Haines, Emily C. Browning and Caitlin.

The South Island is a responsible host, and we encourage you to sample your way through our winemakers with 40mL sample serves marked on each souvenir glass. Don’t forget to make use of the wine-check system to purchase bottles or cases to take home with you when you leave. Winery staff can assist you with this process.

Here’s to another sensational day with friends – raising your glass, savouring a bite to eat, and unwinding beneath the trees at the South Island’s most beloved wine & food event.
