The Great Kenton Wine Festival turns four in 2024
With another successful festive season coming to an end, fans of the Sunshine Coast are already wanting to find an excuse to return, and the Kenton Wine Club, AKA Karoo Wine Club, have the perfect excuse over the long weekend in March.
The fourth Great Kenton Wine Festival is set to take place on March 21, 22 and 23 this year.
The KWC team said they planned to tweak the festival a little each year to make it a better experience for ticket holders, without losing focus on supporting local business.
“Any qualifying local business wanting to be a part of the weekend can do so and enjoy the benefits that go along with it,” said Rose Wright, who together with chef husband Gordon Wright organises the annual event.
GKWF24 will have 30 wine producers showcasing their wines, with some smaller new boutique estates joining the festival for the first time this year.
