Sunsetter Food, Wine & Music Festival.  

As the hot weather begins to set in and Auckland comes alive, plans are well underway for Sunsetter Festival, taking place at Smales Farm on Saturday the 13th of February 2021.

In its fourth year running, Highlife Entertainment’s unique food, wine and music festival is partnering with Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) for the first time, as part of the new Summenova Festival Series. 

Summernova has been designed to wrap around Auckland’s hosting of the 36th America’s Cup presented by Prada with a series of events and activations taking place, including Sunsetter Festival as one of the headline events.

Whether you like to indulge in delicious food, the finest wine, or dance to your favourite music, the one-day festival has something for everyone to enjoy. Bringing you the best local acts, wine and craft beers, eateries and food vendors, performers and more, Sunsetter is guaranteed to bring you an experience unlike anything else on the Auckland events scene.   

After successfully rebranding from the Takapuna Food and Wine Festival, Sunsetter returned in 2020 with another spectacular sold-out event and comfortably made its way onto the annual Kiwi calendar as a highlight. Sunsetter will continue to deliver quality for 2021 and will transform Smales Farm into a unique and unforgettable urban oasis.   

Expect an event that differs from traditional food and wine festivals and get ready for an occasion that delivers an offering and atmosphere like no other!
