Flavours of Plenty Festival 2023

Welcome to the 2023 Flavours of Plenty Festival – where our region’s passionate foodies, chefs, producers and storytellers celebrate and elevate all we’ve got to offer as a food region.

The Bay of Plenty’s rich horticultural history, abundant seas and volcanic soils help produce some of the freshest and finest flavours in Aotearoa. And when incredible ingredients are paired with a deep cultural foundation of manaaki tangata (to provide and care for people), we create unforgettable world-class culinary experiences that weave a powerful connection from our place to plate.

Join us from 24 March to 2 April for this year’s Flavours of Plenty Festival and tantalise your tastebuds. There’s a mouth-watering line-up of foodie events, pop-up restaurants, cuisine challenges, and so much more. From long lunches to degustation dinners, our top chefs, brewers and talented food producers will wow you with their knowledge and expertise. Go behind the scenes to see how unique products are made, grown and harvested. Book a hands-on workshop or gather friends for a fabulous tasting tour.

Everyone’s appetite is catered for at Flavours of Plenty. So come and visit Te Moananui ā Toi for this year’s festival and see what happens when abundance and seasonality meet innovation and flair.
