Welcome to theGisborne Wine & Food Festival 2011
The Gisborne Wine & Food Festival has been a must-do Labour Weekend event since 1997. Following on from a sell-out event in 2010, this year's festival has a spectacular new venue, a new format, and even more to taste, experience and see.
Gisborne's superb wines, local beer and regional food will be showcased in the stunning vineyard setting of Waiohika Estate. Top Kiwi musicians Fat Freddy’s Drop and Tahuna Breaks headline 7 hours of quality entertainment alongside top local covers and jazz bands. Celebrity chef Martin Bosley will also host exclusive seafood workshops whilst Clarke Gayford entertains the audience as guest MC.
The rugby will be shown live on a large outdoor screen so those attending the Festival won’t miss the big game.
Take the opportunity to enjoy everything Gisborne has to offer. You’re guaranteed a Labour Weekend to remember.
