Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival

Since Hong Kong abolished duty on wine in 2008, the city has positioned itself as a major regional hub for the wine trade — and the annual Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival has grown into one of the largest events of its kind in Asia. Held on the harbourfront with the city's skyline as a backdrop, the festival brings together wine from dozens of countries alongside a large showcase of Hong Kong's own restaurant scene.

The format mixes large-scale tasting pavilions with masterclasses, chef demonstrations and a genuinely wide range of local street food, reflecting Hong Kong's own reputation as one of Asia's great eating cities in its own right.

For visitors, the festival offers a rare single-location tasting of wine styles from across the world, set against a genuinely spectacular waterfront setting that few other wine festivals can match.
