The land of Michelin-Star dim sum, crispy egg tarts, and fresh char siew, Hong Kong has always been fondly remembered as a gourmet paradise.
Here’s a heads up to foodies who enjoy visiting Hong Kong: you can embark on an extraordinary gastronomic journey this October and November in Hong Kong at these two upcoming food festivals.
Hong Kong Wine and Dine Festival

The Hong Kong Wine and Dine festival, in its ninth year running, returns from 26 – 29 October with a myriad of flavours to tease and tantalise taste buds. Themed “A Sparkling Exploration” this year, the festival celebrates taste and eye-catching visuals.
