New World Wine & Food Festival

The New World Wine & Food Festival is a celebration of the South Island region's recent acceptance as the New Zealand representative on the prestigious Great Wine Capitals Global Network.

Fifty of the leading wineries from Central Otago, Canterbury, Waipara, Nelson, and Marlborough have been selected to showcase their wines to create a truly unique wine event, and an array of gourmet food exhibitors and restaurants will be on site to provide the perfect complement. 



Wine seminars and cooking displays hosted by industry experts will be a prominent part of the festival, and with live entertainment from some of New Zealand’s leading artists, the New World Wine & Food Festival is great way to start the summer festive season.
