The event previously known as the New Zealand Boutique Wine Festival will return this July to a new location and with a brand new name. Thanks to the inclusion of local spirits, the inaugural Craft'd Wine + Spirits Festival will arrive in Auckland's Wynyard Quarter, with more than 40 small producers showcasing their tipples.

The 2019 festival will be held at GridAKL with the goal of providing a platform for small producers in the boutique wine and spirits industries to share their product and come face-to-face with consumers. As well as letting guests taste their way around the venue, the event will feature masterclasses and vertical tastings, food trucks, a dispensary for bottle purchases, and a post-event 'Craftdparty'.

The Craft'd Wine + Spirits Festival will be held on Sunday, 21 July, 2019. Pre-sale tickets will be available via Eventfinda on 1 April.
