The Christchurch South Island Wine & Food Festival is a celebration of the South Island regions recent acceptance as the New Zealand representative on the prestigious Great Wine Capitals Global Network.

Fifty of the leading wineries from Central Otago, Canterbury, Waipara, Nelson, and Marlborough will be selected to showcase their wines alongside those from the other eight Great Wine Capitals Bordeaux, Cape Town, Florence, Mainz, Mendoza, Porto, Bilbao-Rioja and San Francisco-Napa Valley to create a truly unique wine event.

Wine seminars and cooking displays hosted by industry experts will be a prominent part of the festival, and more than 30 gourmet food vendors, representing some of the South Island's leading chefs and restaurateurs, will be on site to provide the perfect compliment. With live entertainment from some of New Zealand's leading musicians, the Christchurch South Island Wine & Food Festival is a great way to start the summer festive season.
