Be in to Win Two VIP Tickets to Ripe!
Ripe is back for 2022. Find out how you could WIN two VIP tickets for you and a friend to this year's event!
Tickets are now available for the second consecutive Ripe festival, which was the brainchild of Wānaka local, and owner of Otago Event Planning, Nathan White.
“Ripe is all about celebrating Central Otago producers and their intimate connection with the land, while offering tantalising experiences to satisfy everyone’s taste buds on the day.”
The 2022 event will feature 20 of the region’s best wineries, complemented by a selection of delicious local food stalls, entertainment, and exceptional panoramic lake and mountain views from the festival’s new venue, Glendhu Station.
“We are very excited to be hosting this event at this stunning family-owned, organically certified high-country station, which is situated on the shores of Lake Wanaka and only a 10-minute drive from the town centre.”
“We have some great events and entertainment lined up, including a ‘Wine Blind’ tasting master class with renowned wine journalist, author and writer Joelle Thomson” says White.
“Ripe also gives festival goers the opportunity to make the most of a long weekend in Central Otago, with Otago Anniversary Day falling on Monday 21 March 2022.”
White is delighted that in its first year the festival has been selected as a finalist for the New Zealand Events Association’s Award for Excellence: Best Lifestyle Event 2021.
“This is a fantastic validation of the success of our sold-out inaugural event, and we are looking forward to welcoming even more people next year. Our aim is to make Ripe one of the top wine and food events in New Zealand.”

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
