Features & Entertainment

Alongside great food and drink, Taste of Auckland will provide some fantastic entertainment. Check out these Show Features:

The Fisher & Paykel Chef's Kitchen

The chef is the new rock star

While they may not all be able to sing, they are in high demand. The Fisher & Paykel Chef's Kitchen is your chance to see your favourite chef on stage, presenting one of their favourite dishes. More than just a cooking tutorial this is the place to get to know the chef and restaurant personalities. What goes on behind the scenes at Euro when Simon is filming for TV? Why does The Grove keep attracting and refining such talented chefs? What wine do the A Listers order when they dine at Harbourside? Time for chefs to share their skill... and their secrets!

The Glengarry International Wine Experience

There are some outstanding local wineries at Taste of Auckland, but Glengarry are bringing their expertise in International wines to the festival as well. The International Wine Experience is your chance to try and learn about some gorgeous wines from France, Italy, Spain, Chile and Argentina.

The Dilmah Chefs Table

Join one of the many featured chefs for an informal chat over a cup of fine Dilmah tea and have your culinary questions answered by the experts.

Music Bandstand

The festival will feature a full lineup of music on the central bandstand, including some great, well know local acts. Music to welcome summer with, music to dine to and music to set your mood for the afternoon or evening... Timetable will be posted up here closer to the show.
