Live music will be playing and wine and food will be on offer all day from 11am to 5:30pm, showcasing inspiring food choices, local producers and food trucks, matched superbly with Waiheke wines.
Waiheke winemakers will be giving wine education talks and buses will run from the car and passenger ferries to Te Motu 'The Airstrip' and back.

In addition to this main Festival Day event, there will also be many wine, food and music events happening at individual vineyards during the Festival week, from the 30th of March to the 3rd of April.
