The coolest little wine festival is back!

Good things grown and made here, feasting, dancing and spectacular wine.

A free-range family festival, with fun for all ages. Meet your local producers, as makers and growers from across Canterbury share their skills, while musicians and DJs lay down mellow tunes and foot stompin’ grooves. See you in March for lazy summer good times under the oaks at Glenmark Domain.

2020's festival

Set under the oaks in Glenmark Domain is the coolest little wine festival. North Canterbury Wine & Food Festival 2020 was one to remember.

Over 4,000 of you fine folk hit the road and came out to New Zealand’s most-loved wine and food region for a celebration like no other. You supported the local harvesters, chilled out in our pockets of entertainment, immersed yourselves in conversations with other lovers of local produce and fell completely in love with everything North Canterbury has to offer.

Tickets

No tickets required. Under 18's are still required to enter through the official entry gate at the festival. We will have plenty for the little ones to do at the festival, including face-painting and a petting zoo.
