Halifax International Wine Fest

The Halifax International Wine Festival 2026 Grand Tasting sessions will return to the Halifax Convention Centre ballroom. At this year's event there will be "more space, more wine, more food and more fun." At the festival's Grand Tasting Sessions guests can sample 250 wines from near and far and enjoy food samples from various vendors. The onsite retail store produced by Harvest Wine Beer & Spirits will allow guests to purchase many featured wines to take with them. As we say "try it....like it...buy it...". The grand tastings are 3:00–5:00 and 8:00–10:00 for General Admission, and 2:00–5:00 and 7:00–10:00 for VIP ticket holders.
