Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival moves online for first time as coronavirus pandemic forces event overhaul


HONG KONG, Oct 23 (SCMP): The Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival will be staged almost entirely online for the first time in its 11-year history, as the Covid-19 pandemic forces a drastic redesign of an event previously attracting 180,000 people to the city’s harbourfront.

The five-week virtual festival launching next month will live-stream cook-alongs and wine masterclasses, with special deals offered on gourmet takeaways to accompany the online sessions.
