Promoters Rippon Vineyard and Winery Ltd. and Lake Wanaka SouNZ Inc. explained, “We’re giving the land a chance to breathe, and new plants a chance to grow and taking a hiatus year.

The beautiful vineyard which hosts this yummy festival is re-juicing its juiciness and rejuvenating its juviness!” The festival was set up in 1997 to showcase New Zealand talent.
