Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival
Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival takes place Late Oct 2026 (expected; 2025 edition ran Oct 23 - 26, HKTB confirms dates yearly) in Hong Kong. The dress code is Smart-casual; a light layer for breezy waterfront evenings. Typical cost ranges from 10 to 60 EUR per person.
An open-air wine and food festival on the Central Harbourfront Event Space, with Victoria Harbour as the backdrop. Over 300 booths cover wine producers from several countries, a Grand Wine Pavilion with masterclasses led by sommeliers, a Tasting Room where visiting and local chefs pair menus with fine wines, and restaurants and hotels serving limited-edition dishes. Members go for the range of regions in one place and the chef-led pairings, in a setting a short walk from Central.

How to attend
Open to the public: buy general-admission tickets (roughly HKD 40 - 100) online via the Hong Kong Tourism Board or at the gate, then add tasting passes for wine and food tokens used at booths. Central Harbourfront is a short walk from Central and Hong Kong MTR stations. Opening evening and weekday sessions are noticeably calmer than the weekend.
Public tickets for the 29 October to 1 November 2026 festival are not on sale yet - the tourism board's page currently carries only the exhibitor application.
Insider tip
Buy the premium tasting pass rather than single tokens - the rare and vintage wine booths it unlocks are where the serious pours happen, with the Victoria Harbour skyline thrown in free.
