Rosé & Dumpling Festival 2026

It’s back—and bigger than ever! Celebrate the January long weekend in ultimate summer style at Howard Vineyard’s Rosé & Dumpling Festival 2026, running Saturday 24–Sunday 25 January.

SATURDAY 24TH JANUARY | 11AM - 7PM

SUNDAY 25TH JANUARY | 11AM - 6PM

Think Rosé all day, a full bar of wine, cocktails and beer, plus an irresistible spread of dumplings and festival favourites. Chill out on the acoustic lawns or dance at the main stage with live sets daily from DJ DFOE and Mr BUZZY Band.

Choose from luxe ticket options - like the new Rosé Pavilion Package, or crowd favourites; The Blush Terrace or Rosé Reserved Lawns. Or simply keep it casual with General Admission. Kids are welcome too, with Sunday’s dedicated Kids’ Zone full of games, activities and face-painting.
