RIVERLAND FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL

RIVERLAND FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL
Saturday March 7th – Berri Riverfront

The Riverland Food & Wine Festival is back — and it’s getting even bigger in 2026! After a huge return last year, we’re turning things up with more bars, more food trucks, more wineries selling direct, and plenty of extra seating, tables, and shade along the beautiful Berri riverfront.

This March long weekend, celebrate the best of Riverland food, wine, and entertainment all in one stunning location. Local wineries will be serving their top drops with tasting flights and pairings from our resident food trucks, featuring Riverland-sourced ingredients.
