Ripe – The Wānaka Wine and Food Festival returns to the shores of Lake Wānaka on Saturday March 21, 2026

The event will be held at Glendhu Station, located within a 10 minute drive of Wānaka township and a stone’s throw away from one of New Zealand’s most beautiful campgrounds, Glendhu Bay Motor Camp.

Attendees will get to enjoy the exceptional panoramic lake and mountain views of the majestic bay area while enjoying some premium wine and food supplied by Central Otago’s best producers.

Taste the best of the region and find your rhythm with an unforgettable set by Kiwi icon Sir Dave Dobbyn.

Exceptional food, elite wine, and a national treasure on stage!
