TASMANIA’S FAVOURITE SUMMER GARDEN PARTY RETURNS

Mark your calendars and get ready, the highly anticipated Tasmanian Wine Festival returns to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens in Hobart on 7 February and 8 February 2026.

After multiple sell out sessions during the 2025 edition, where all Saturday sessions completely sold out, wine lovers are invited to sip, saviour and discover.

With over 45 Tasmanian wineries and vineyards featured, this event is your ultimate opportunity to discover and savour some of the best wines Tasmania has to offer.

Guests will enjoy sipping their favourite wines in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by lush gardens and the stunning backdrop of the Botanical Gardens. The festival will once again offer a carefully curated range of delicious food options, perfectly matched to the incredible variety of wines available. Guests will also be treated to superb live entertainment both on and off the stage.

Festival organiser Brendan Self shares his enthusiasm:

“Every year, the festival gets better and better. We’re proud to showcase the very best of Tasmania’s wine community, and we’re already planning an exciting lineup of vineyards and entertainment for 2026. It’s always fantastic to see people come together in the gardens, enjoying great wine, great food, and great company.”

“Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or simply looking to enjoy a beautiful weekend in Hobart, the Tasmanian Wine Festival promises something special for everyone,” said Self.

Tickets for the 2026 edition of the Tasmanian Wine Festival are on sale this October.
