Showcasing top vineyards from Northland and NZ, a selection of Monteith’s beer & cider, Northlands’ best foodies serving mouthwatering delights ranging from salt and pepper calamari, sensational oyster shots to a mean curry.
Awesome entertainment all day with The Furious 3, then Kokomo leading up to the iconic band Dragon who are flying in from Australia to entertain you. If you want a break from the main stage check out the “messy area”; the pie eating competition (you are in Pai-hia), tasting and scallop shucking competitions…to name a few! There is a kids zone where the kids will be entertained with characters such as “BJ the Magician” showing off his amazing tricks. If all you want to do is sit back and sip on a glass of wine while enjoying a delicious seafood chowder…there is room to do that as well!
The beauty of this festival is you can take in the whole 3 days, or if you just fancy some good wine, food and to sit back and be entertained just come along on the Saturday.
Tickets are limited for the Saturday event. Come and celebrate living in Northland!

Snapper caught in January by a guest of Abilene Motel just off the rocks at Opito Bay. 17lbs
They smoked him that night so nothing went to waste.
What a catch
The refurbished Cathay Cinemas is within walking distance of Abilene Motel. The 1936 Cinema has been totally refurbished with 3 screens, comfortable seating and plenty of leg room. All new projection equipment and air conditioning/heating.
The latest movies are on show, at a most reasonable price.
Kerikeri is very lucky to have this new updated theatre which we thoroughly recommend to all our guests.
