Raise a glass at Liquid Gold, the Bay of Islands’ celebration of our delicious Northland wine, craft beer and spirits. Set in a stunning Pavilion marquee at the Waitangi Sports Grounds, this event brings together award-winning vineyards, champion brewers, and master distillers to showcase their finest liquid creations.
From midday, guests can explore curated tasting stations, unwind in the lush Gin Garden, grab some tasty treats from our fave food trucks, hear from our top wine-makers and brewers and enjoy the music all afternoon. Whether you're a wine connoisseur, craft beer enthusiast, or cocktail lover, Liquid Gold offers something to delight every palate.
Tickets include 5 x 30ml wine tasting vouchers. All vineyards and brewers will be selling full drinks as well as tastings, and our festival bar has a further range of local wines and beer to purchase. The Gin Garden features our Northland distillers, with a range of cocktails to try! Soft drink and low / non-alcoholic options will also be available.
We have some of best local food vendors attending, offering a range of savoury and sweet including Northland cheese and oysters.
The venue is a massive 1200sqm Pavilion, located just over the Waitangi one-way bridge, near the Copthorne Hotel and Resort. It is a short distance from accommodation hub of Paihia and we have plenty of free parking. The venue is completely covered, so rain can’t stop play, and there are outdoor areas to enjoy the sunshine and view if the weather is mint.
