Taste of Auckland is celebrating its tenth birthday this November, and to celebrate they’re moving to Auckland’s waterfront.
From the 1st-4th November, New Zealand’s biggest festival of food and drink will take over Queen’s Wharf, including The Cloud and Shed 10.
For four days the city’s harbour will be covered in kitchens, bars, an artisanal marketplace, chef demonstrations, and live music. In honour of the location, this year’s events will focus on sustainable seafood.
Alongside foods with an homage to the ocean, Taste of Auckland will have more than 120 food and drink producers offering everything from speciality cheeses to boutique gins, speciality wines, delightful pates, and vegan fare – and don’t forget the craft beer trail!
Big names at the festival include Ben Bayly and Juan Balsani (Baduzzi), Kyle Street and Jordan Macdonald (Culprit, Lowbrow), Nick Honeyman (Paris Butter), Cameron Knox (Xoong) and Sergio Maglione (Farina), with more to be announced.
Some of New Zealand biggest musical artists will be performing, including Tami Neilson, Barnaby Weir & Friends, and Hollie Smith.
If you go, be sure to attend the ever-popular Electrolux Taste Theatre and Chefs’ Secrets kitchen, both of which promise out-of-the-ordinary culinary experiences.
