The annual Wine and Dine Festival will return in October with opening hours extended until midnight, the Tourism Board said on Monday.

That is one more hour than in the past, with organisers saying they hope visitors would be able to enjoy the most out of the event at the Central harbourfront from October 23 to 26.

Turnout at the four-day event is expected to reach 150,000, which would be similar to previous years.

Themed “Remix. Best of All Worlds”, organisers said visitors can enjoy Cantonese cuisine at a tasting room that boasts five chefs from Hong Kong and abroad, along with more than 300 booths offering delicacies from more than 30 countries and regions.

Wine and food pairing will also be available on site, which guests can curate their food combinations just by following a simple colour-coded system that couples up five key flavours with five distinct grape varieties.

Tickets will go on sale online from October 2.
