Whether you’re into North Canterbury Riesling, Central Otago Pinot Noir, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Nelson Chardonnay or something a bit more specialised, let the wine tour come to you.

The South Island Wine & Food Festival is bringing the best of the mainland’s world-class wine regions to Hagley Park on December 5.

Match the wine with a selection of locally-made foods of all colours and cuisines. Live entertainment includes music from Zed, Sons of Zion, Tami Neilson, Holly Arrowsmith and Mousey. There is also a selection of featured experiences including wine matching, fresh fish plates, foraged foods and artisan cheeses.

Take your day to the next level with a reservation for the VIP area, where dedicated VIP hosts treat you to gourmet food, served to your table. The all-day menu is expertly matched with prestigious wines from the festival's boutique exhibitors, with Monteith's beer, cider and a selection of non-alcoholic beverages also available.

This event regularly sells out, so get in quick.
