Cape Breton Food & Wine Festival

Cape Breton Food & Wine Festival

Saturday, April 18, 2026 · 6:00 p.m. · Membertou Trade & Convention Centre

Showcase of island chefs, wineries and craft producers.

Evening grand tasting at Membertou Trade & Convention Centre pairing dishes from Cape Breton's top restaurants with Nova Scotia wines, ciders and craft beers.

What to expect

Walk-around format with 30+ tasting stations, live music, and a relaxed semi-formal crowd of locals and visiting foodies. Dress is smart-casual.

Highlights

Look for Flavor 19, Governors, Bite House alumni, and Big Spruce and Breton Brewing pours. Oyster bar and lamb sliders go fast.

Plan ahead

Tickets via Destination Cape Breton — under $100 includes all tastings. Free parking at Membertou; the Hampton Inn is steps away.

Why go

It's the most concentrated tasting of the island's food scene anywhere — chefs you'd otherwise need a week of driving to sample.
