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!

The Centre at Kerikeri is a fantastic Performing Arts Complex where we have seen a range of local and overseas talent perform. The NZ Ballet kick off their tour each year in Kerikeri and earlier this year Dame Malvina Major was just one of a list of sell out concerts.
John Rowles, Ray Wolf and the Roger Fox Band, The Bee Gees, and many more have had a chance to perform on the new stage.
As well as Performers staying at Abilene Motel, while The Centre was being built we hosted some of the designers who worked on the construction, so we know the time and effort put in to such an amazing building.
You can visit The Centre’s website at www.centakeri.com/ or thru our website www.abilenemotel.co.nz for a list of shows.
