From 23 to 26 October, the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival will once again take place at Central Harbourfront Event Space. Organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board in collaboration with the Bordeaux Wine Council, this year’s edition introduces a new twist: extended evening hours until midnight, giving visitors more time to explore the festival’s offerings under the city lights.
Carrying the theme REMIX. BEST OF ALL WORLDS, the festival brings back two familiar favorites—BEA Grand Wine Pavilion and the Tasting Room. Inside the wine pavilion, guests can sample a wide range of premium selections, including rare bottles from Bordeaux’s First Growth estates such as Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Haut-Brion, and Mouton. Burgundy’s Grand Cru wines will also be featured, alongside notable labels from Spain, Italy, the United States, and China. Aged whiskies and rare spirits add depth to the tasting experience.
One section, curated by wine critic James Suckling, will showcase over 100 wines from both Old and New World producers, including his personal picks from China. The space is designed for relaxed exploration, inviting guests to discover new favorites at their own pace.
The Tasting Room returns with a collaborative dinner led by five chefs from Hong Kong and abroad; Cheung Yat-fung, Andrew Wong, Ji-sun Jung, Jayson Tang, and Menex Cheung. For one evening only, they’ll present Taste the Extraordinary: Beyond Cantonese Flavour, a shared menu that reimagines Chinese cuisine through diverse culinary lenses. Making its debut this year is Towngas Gourmet Avenue, featuring 12 of Hong Kong’s most acclaimed restaurants. The lineup includes Michelin-starred and Black Pearl-awarded venues, offering a mix of French fine dining, modern Cantonese, and creative fusion—all served in one location. The restaurants include L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, Forum Restaurant, Bo Innovation, and Arbor.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Hotel Delicious also makes a comeback, with 11 hotels presenting signature dishes prepared live. Highlights include Hainanese chicken rice from Grand Hyatt and butterfly cookies from The Royal Garden, giving guests a chance to enjoy hotel classics in a casual setting. A new interactive feature, Pairing Exploration, invites visitors to experiment with food and wine combinations. By matching five taste profiles—sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and umami—with five wine varieties (Merlot, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc), guests can create their own pairings using a simple color-coded guide.
The festival also introduces themed zones in collaboration with global brands. One highlight is the Disney-themed area by Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, offering character-inspired dishes and seasonal treats making their first appearance. Marvel-themed cocktails and wines connected to the Walt Disney legacy will also be featured, including selections from Frank Family Vineyards in Napa Valley.
This year’s event will host around 305 booths, with a focus on wine and gourmet food. Participants represent 31 countries and regions, with returning pavilions from France, the UK, Spain, China, and Japan, and new additions from the US, Italy, Czech Republic, Belgium, Norway, Austria, Mexico, and Poland. With its expanded hours and diverse programming, the festival continues to grow as a space for culinary exchange—bringing together flavors, stories, and cultures along Hong Kong’s iconic waterfront.
