The Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival returns from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1, 2026, turning the Central Harbourfront Event Space and Tamar Park into a four-day haven for wine lovers.
Guests are treated to an international wine lineup with MICHELIN-starred cooking, new flavors, coffee culture, and live entertainment. Doors open at 7:30 PM on Oct. 29, with festivities running until 12 MN. Hours are 1 PM to 1 AM on Oct. 30 and 31, while it's 1 PM to 12 MN on Nov. 1.
For diners with a taste for the extraordinary, the Tasting Room offers the "Taste of Time" experience. It brings together five chefs to explore how fermentation, marination, and aging deepen flavors. The lineup includes Chef Edward Lee of Washington, D.C.'s SHIA, known for his appearance on Netflix's "Culinary Class Wars"; Chef Thierry Marx of Paris' ONOR; Chef Chen Zhiping of Shanghai's Meet the Bund; Chef Lau Yiu Fai of Hong Kong's two-MICHELIN-starred Lai Ching Heen; and Chef Yang Yanbin of Hong Kong's QUAN.
Dinner, wine pairings, and festival admission cost HK$2,380 per person.
The Tasting Room also hosts a Saturday four-hands luncheon from Chef Choi Hyun Seok and Hong Kong-based Chef Edward Voon. Their menu costs HK$1,580 per person, including wine pairings and admission. More casual options include Regent Hong Kong's Sunday Cheesy & Cheers cheese-and-wine gathering at HK$200 and the Cantopop-infused HK Remix: Eat & Beat at HK$780, both including admission.
At the AMEX Gourmet Club, participants include MICHELIN-starred and renowned restaurants: Forum Restaurant, French favorite Belon, tandoor specialist New Punjab Club, Bo Innovation, and JIJA by Vicky Lau.
Wine remains the headliner. Visitors can explore bottles from France, with a particular focus on Bordeaux, as well as China, Georgia, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Australia and South Korea join with new pavilions, while sparkling teas, low-alcohol craft beers, Asian wines, and artisanal cocktails offer alternatives.
The Grand Wine Pavilion raises the stakes with premium labels from international merchants, selections associated with critic James Suckling, and a tasting marking 170 years of the 1855 Grands Crus Classés. Masterclasses led by sommeliers and brand ambassadors add context for anyone keen to know more.
Beyond the grape, Coffee Village brings together cafes, roasters, and award-winning baristas for specialty brew, coffee cocktails, and workshops. The Main Stage hosts live music, and After Nine Vibes makes the most of the waterfront aesthetic with nighttime entertainment.
Guests can enter via Admiralty next to Tamar Park or Central near Central Pier No. 10.
