Organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and co-organised by the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (CIVB), the annual flagship event “Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival” will take place for four consecutive days from 29 October (Thursday) to 1 November (Sunday) at the Central Harbourfront Event Space and Tamar Park under the theme “Taste the World’s Best”. The excitement extends far beyond the four days. To amplify the benefits of the mega event and sustain the festive momentum, HKTB will roll out “Hong Kong Gourmet Month” throughout November, along with exclusive ticket stub offers, to attract more visitors to Hong Kong and drive tourism spending. Dr Peter Lam, Chairman of HKTB, said, “I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our lead sponsor, American Express, as well as EcoCeres, Cathay, and all our sponsors, partners including Henderson Land Development and Maxim’s Group, exhibitors, and the food and beverage industry for their steadfast support. Together, we have built this internationally renowned flagship event for Hong Kong – the ‘Hong Kong Wine and Dine Festival’. This year, in addition to presenting the strongest-ever line-up for the Festival, HKTB will launch ‘Hong Kong Gourmet Month’ in November. Starting from late October, a series of drinking and dining experiences will run throughout the month, giving both locals and visitors the opportunity to ‘Taste the World’s Best’. From world-class drinks and top-rated cuisine to creative ‘Only in Hong Kong’ culinary delights and a host of limited-time experiences, everyone can immerse themselves in Hong Kong’s vibrant dining scene day and night. Through these initiatives, we aim to encourage visitors to stay longer and spend more, creating additional business opportunities for the trade.” Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival Elevated in Scale and Experience Featuring More Exceptional Flavours from Around the World This year’s Festival returns on an even grander scale, with more than 340 booths, an increase of over 10% from last year, and the event footprint extending to Tamar Park. The Festival brings together fine drinks and delicacies from around 31 countries and regions, pavilions from numerous countries and regions, including Australia, Canada and South Korea, which are making their debut. From rare drinks of world-renowned regions to top culinary masterpieces crafted by international celebrity chefs, award-winning restaurants and star-rated hotels, visitors can savour the world’s best flavours under the starlit sky of Victoria Harbour. For the first time, the Festival will introduce a series of limited-edition, expert-led guided tours and tasting experiences, enabling guests to easily learn about characteristics of the drinks and food pairings with it. In addition, on Friday and Saturday evenings, the Festival will extend its opening hours until 1am for the first time, allowing visitors to raise a glass and enjoy the festivities to the fullest.
