Horizontal Festival, a brand-new celebration of everything we love about NSW—exceptional food, wine, music, art and people—brought together for an unforgettable weekend in the beautiful Southern Highlands.
Set in the picturesque surrounds of Centennial Vineyard in Bowral, Horizontal Festival is more than just a food and wine celebration—its part concert, part degustation menu, part art show and part wine, craft beer and distillery tasting – it’s a curated sensory journey. Over two unforgettable days guests will experience the very best of NSW regional produce, paired with world-class wine, beer and cocktails as well as art, design, music and culture.

Choose between two daily sessions, a vibrant daytime experience or an enchanting evening atmosphere.
Day sessions run from 12:00pm to 4:00pm, while evening sessions take place from 5:30pm to 9:30pm.
Each four-hour session is a passport to swirl, sniff, sip, savour the flavours of NSW, while soaking up the sights and sounds of a vibrant community of makers, producers and creatives.
Complementing the culinary showcase, festivalgoers can look forward to many musical performances inside the varietal tents as well as an outdoor concert stage performance by high-energy blues and roots band 19 Twenty, bringing vibrant live music to both the Saturday night and Sunday morning sessions.
A stellar lineup of chefs and standout regional producers has been confirmed for the inaugural event.
Be the first to book in-demand Masterclasses led by culinary icon Mark Best, with appearances by the Highlands’ own Eilish Maloney, and award-winning chef Simon Evans of Bangalay Dining. Masterclass bookings open 29 August – Platinum subscribers get early access! Pre-sale on 26 August.
“The Horizontal Festival is an exciting way to bring people closer to the richness of NSW producers while sharing how we can reimagine Australian dining in a festival setting,” said Mark Best.
