Caves Coastal Beer, Food & Wine Festival Returns this Spring
Save the date! On Sunday 28 September 2025, the Caves Coastal Beer, Food & Wine Festival is back — and it’s shaping up to be even bigger and better.
Following the success of last year’s debut, Caves Coastal Bar & Bungalows is once again turning on the charm, bringing together an incredible lineup of local winemakers, brewers, artisan foodies, market stalls, and more — all with a stunning beachfront backdrop.
When: Sunday 28 September 2025
Time: 11:00am – 5:00pm
Where: Caves Coastal Bar & Bungalows, Caves Beach
Entry: Free to the public
Expect a day of flavour, live music, community vibes, and a real celebration of what makes the Lake Macquarie region so special.
This year’s event has two goals:
- Celebrate and support our amazing local producers, artists and businesses.
- Grow into one of the Hunter’s must-attend regional events — delivering tourism benefits and economic uplift to the local community.
