Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival 2025

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), and co-organised by Bordeaux Wine Council (CIVB), the annual flagship event Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival is set to return. This year, the four-day Festival will be held at the Central Harbourfront Event Space from 23 to 26 October. For the first time, the evening hours will be extended until midnight, allowing guests to enjoy the festivities late into the night.

The theme of this year’s event is REMIX. BEST OF ALL WORLDS, and it marks the highly anticipated return of two Festival favourites: the BEA Grand Wine Pavilion and the exclusive Tasting Room. Sponsored by The Bank of East Asia (BEA), the BEA Grand Wine Pavilion will assemble a collection of top-class wines, including prestigious bottles from Bordeaux’s First Growth chateaux. The Tasting Room will feature five celebrated chefs for an unprecedented ten-hand collaborative dinner, a true feast for the senses. Towngas Gourmet Avenue, sponsored by Towngas, will feature a dozen of Hong Kong’s finest restaurants, including Michelin-starred and Black Pearl establishments, offering visitors a culinary journey that boast a collective 13 Stars and 7 Diamonds all under one roof.

Another highlight at the Festival this year is the interactive Pairing Exploration experience. By exploring clever combinations of five distinct flavour profiles and five grape varieties, guests are invited to curate their own pairings and discover new tasting sensations. Moreover, this year’s event will also feature new Country Pavilions and a host of popular international brands, promising a sophisticated journey that blends the classic with the contemporary. There will be more activities and promotions related to the Festival, with details to be announced later.

The hugely popular Tasting Room returns with an all-star cast of five of the culinary world’s most influential chefs from Hong Kong and abroad.
