D'VINE FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL:

Great food and exceptional wine are just the beginning at the D’Vine Festival — a weekend packed with flavour, flair, and a whole lot of fun in the heart of the Hunter Valley.

Picture vibrant cellar doors, unforgettable food and wine experiences, live music, sweeping vineyard views, and a buzzing festival vibe. The Festival is full of experiences ONLY available one weekend a year! 2026 will be bringing you a theme of 'Meet your Makers' where we'll bring you closer to the stories behind the food and wine you love.

WHAT IS THE D'VINE FESTIVAL?:

Our street-long food festival will have you experiencing the best Pokolbin has to offer!

Start your weekend in Hunter Valley Heartland in style on Friday, September 11, with a casual start to the Festival. On Friday night you'll have a chance to rub shoulders with some of the region’s best winemakers in our Winemaker Showcase.

While we're still putting together the 2026 program, you can expect winery and vineyard tours, cultural experiences, paired tastings, casual street food, live music & fun activities.

There will be plenty of opportunities to purchase local produce and handmade gourmet delights that you can take home and recreate amazing gastronomical experiences with.

*Select events are over 18 only, but most welcome families. Please check each event for suitability for children and pets.

WHERE IT'S ALL HAPPENING:

The D’Vine Festival is happening across the ‘Around Hermitage Wine and Food Trail' centering around Hermitage Road.
