Welcome to the Gisborne Wine & Food Festival
The Gisborne Wine & Food Festival has been a must-do Labour Weekend event since 1997. This year's festival has a spectacular new venue, a completely new format, and lots more to taste, see and experience.
Gisborne's superb wines and regional food will be showcased in a stunning vineyard setting beside the historic Gray's Bush Scenic Reserve. Top Kiwi musicians will provide a full day of quality entertainment, and celebrity guest chefs Simon Gault and Al Brown will be hosting exclusive wine and food workshops.
Take the opportunity to rediscover everything Gisborne has to offer, and enjoy a Labour Weekend to remember.
