The annual Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival, a celebrated event known for bringing together global culinary delights and fine beverages, is set to take place at the Central Harbourfront this year. The five-day festival will begin on October 23 and, for the first time, will extend its operating hours until 11 pm, giving attendees more time to enjoy the festivities.
This year’s edition will feature more than 300 booths, offering an expansive selection of classic wines and spirits from 35 countries and regions. The event, organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), will showcase a variety of international flavors in 11 themed zones. These zones will highlight the culinary offerings of several countries, including China, Spain, and Finland, with new additions like Australia and the United Kingdom.
The festival will also provide an immersive cultural experience, with Consul Generals from participating countries presenting their national alcoholic beverages and culinary specialties. Visitors can expect exclusive tastings, such as a 35-year-old Single Grain Scotch Whisky and Naked Affogato presented by the British Consulate General, and Roxanne Cava Brut Vintage alongside Iberico Chorizo from the Spanish Consulate General.
Tickets, which include admission and tasting passes, are available for purchase online via Klook or at the festival itself.
In line with its commitment to environmental sustainability, the HKTB has announced that no plastic cups will be provided during the event. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own stemmed wine glasses, with a reward of a limited-edition commemorative glass sleeve for those who do. This initiative not only promotes sustainable practices but also enhances the overall festival experience.
For international visitors, the festival serves as a gateway to broader adventures in the region. The Macao Government Tourism Office is offering complimentary one-way ferry tickets for journeys between Hong Kong and Macao until December 31. Travelers can also enjoy a seamless and free transfer from Hong Kong International Airport to the Macao Port via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, further enhancing the travel experience.
The Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival promises to be an unforgettable event, celebrating the best of global food and drink while embracing sustainable initiatives.
