Your Guide To The Hong Kong Wine And Dine Festival 2026

The much-anticipated Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival returns, turning the Central harbourfront into a four-day feast with a skyline view! From Thursday, October 29 to Sunday, November 1, 2026, hundreds of booths fill the Central Harbourfront Event Space and Tamar Park, pouring wines from around the world alongside chef-driven plates and live music, all set against Victoria Harbour.

Whether you’re coming with friends, a date, colleagues, or kids in tow, the weekend bends to fit. The Hong Kong Tourism Board’s program pairs sommelier masterclasses and chef-led workshops with jazz and classical sets on the main stage, plus interactive experiences and family-friendly activities during the day. Low-alcohol pours, Chinese and natural wines, sparkling teas, and street-style snacks mean there’s something for serious tasters, casual sippers, and non-drinkers alike.

Arrive early on Friday or Saturday for a relaxed, uncrowded loop of the booths, then stay on as the harbour lights come up and the stage heats up after nine. Ticket prices for 2026 are not on the public page yet, so check the official listing before you buy.

Details on the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival

• Who: Hosted by the Hong Kong Tourism Board for anyone who enjoys good food and drink by the water: wine enthusiasts, foodies, groups of friends, couples, solo travellers, and families looking for an easygoing harbour outing with snacks, music, and short workshops.
• When: Thursday, October 29–Sunday, November 1, 2026. Public hours from the June 2026 partner briefing: Thursday 7:30pm–12am (4pm–7pm is an invitation-only opening); Friday and Saturday 1pm–1am; Sunday 1pm–12am. Confirm times closer to the date.
• Where: Central Harbourfront Event Space and Tamar Park, 9 Lung Wo Road, Central, Hong Kong. Flat, paved waterfront paths make it easy to navigate on foot, with a wheelchair or with a stroller. Nearest MTR stations are Hong Kong Station and Admiralty, each a short walk away.
• How to join: Admission and tasting passes will be listed on Discover Hong Kong. In recent years general entry was ticketed, under-3s were free, and ages 3–12 had concession entry, but 2026 prices are not confirmed. Tasting tokens are sold separately from entry, so budget for both.

The Scoop – What to Expect

• Around the world in a few steps: Country pavilions from China, France, Italy, Spain, Georgia, and the United Kingdom, plus new tents from Australia, Canada, and South Korea. Bordeaux is the spotlight region this year, and there’s a growing corner for lesser-known regions, natural wines, and low-alcohol alternatives.
• For the serious palate: The Grand Wine Pavilion gathers 20-plus premium merchants and hosts sommelier masterclasses. The Tasting Room pairs festival-only menus from chefs including Edward Lee, Thierry Marx, Chen Zhi Ping, and Justin Yang Yan Bin.
• “Only in Hong Kong” flavours: More than 100 restaurants, hotels, and street-food stalls, including limited dishes you won’t find on a regular menu. Think of it as a shortcut to the city’s dining scene in a single evening.
• Entertainment all weekend: Local and international musicians play jazz and classical sets on the main stage, with themed workshops and interactive experiences running alongside, good for filling the gaps between tastings or giving non-drinkers in your group something to do.
• Bringing the kids? The official program includes family activities and interactive experiences, not a full kids’ carnival. A late-afternoon Saturday slot works well for snacks and the stage, with an exit before the late-night crowd. Enjoying it adults-only? The post-nine hours are when the harbour lights, the music, and the atmosphere peak.
• Practical tips: The site is open and paved, but bottlenecks form at tasting counters in the evening. Pack a light layer, as the harbour wind is real at this time of year, and note that bathrooms are at the event space rather than inside every tent.
• Can’t make the harbour dates? Wine & Dine Month runs through November with special menus and pairings at restaurants and bars across Hong Kong, a handy option whether you’re working around a travel itinerary or a work schedule.
