Wellington on a Plate

New Zealand's largest culinary festival, VISA Wellington on a Plate is back for its fifth year this August.
August can feel like one of the longest months in the New Zealand calendar, situated slap-bang in the middle of winter. Wellington on a Plate has been remedying this for the past five years, by making the half the month a celebration of going out to get indoors and eat good food.
There are over 100 food and beverage events running between the 15th - 31st August, from festival favourite Beervana, Garage Project's Burger Wellington competition and the MiNDFOOD Wellington On a Plate and Producer Awards.
Throughout the two weeks over 100 Wellington restaurants will be offering unique menus as part of DINE Wellington to continue the festival spirit.
For specific event details, visit the Visa Wellington on a Plate website.
