Thanks Iona!
Come and enjoy the delights of Wanaka’s Wine and Food Fest!
The festival will feature a delicious selection of our local and regional wines, beers, chef-prepared foods and artisan suppliers. There will be music and entertainments on the Main Stage all day, fun activities for kids at the Cardrona Kids tent and chill out tent for teens at the Kahu Youth tent.
Festival Wine and Beer glasses are $20 each, which includes 4 FOC tasting tokens. You must buy a glass if you wish to purchase alcohol, and a portion of your $20 is a donation to the Wanakafest Community Trust.
Thanks Jennie!
