CAVES COASTAL BEER, FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL IS BACK

Now in its third year, Caves Coastal’s Beer, Food & Wine Festival returns bigger and better on Saturday 26th September 2026.

Sip, taste and explore the best of the Central Coast and Hunter with top brewers, winemakers, distillers and food producers all in one place. Add live entertainment, guest speakers, ocean views and good vibes, and you’ve got the perfect long weekend plan.

Meet 4 Pines Brewing Co

Born in Manly from a post-surf chat between a father and son in 2006, 4 Pines has become one of the country’s most loved and awarded breweries. This year their truck rolls onto the festival with a cracking lineup, from a seasonal Oktoberfest and a crisp Japanese-style lager to Brookvale Union ginger beer and pineapple and coconut. As a certified B Corp and 1% for the Planet member, they are on a mission to brew better for their people, community and planet. Our kind of people, pouring all day at this year’s Beer, Food & Wine Festival.

Meet Never Never Distilling Co

Dreamed up over a pint by three mates with a shared love of flavour, Never Never Distilling Co set out to build Australia’s most exciting gin brand from a tiny Adelaide shed. The name comes from the Never Never, the vast outback that stretches beyond the horizon, and it captures everything they are about, adventure and a fearless step into the unknown. Today they have grown into one of the country’s most exciting gin makers, still chasing that next horizon. Our kind of people, pouring all day at this year’s Beer, Food & Wine Festival.
