First Light Wine & Food Festival 2024

Get ready for the annual First Light Wine & Food Festival, the ultimate way to spend Labour Weekend, kicking off the high season on the golden slopes of Gisborne.

From 12pm to 7pm, explore our fantastic venue while enjoying some of the region's top food and wine producers.

With everything from chardonnay and rosé to merlot and malbec, plus delicious bites from local foodies, it’s the ideal weekend escape among the vines where the epic wines are made! Both venues will feature live music all day, creating a great vibe to relax and soak it all in.

Your ticket includes a free bus service running between town and the winery.  Hop on at the Gisborne i-Site, and you’re sorted.

Want something extra? Grab a VIP ticket for:

• Access to an exclusive VIP area with private restrooms


• Priority entry—no waiting in lines


• A complimentary glass of wine at both wineries


• Private VIP bar access

And if you're heading out with your mates, you can snag 10% off when you purchase 10 general release or VIP tickets together.

It’s the best way to celebrate the start of sunny season, with Gizzy’s finest wine, food, and tunes!
