Become a Feast Whakatū sponsor.

We need your help to bring this event to the Nelson Tasman region and celebrate our exceptional food and beverage industry.

Feast Whakatū is set to be an annual event for the national event calendar and we can’t wait!

Get involved.

We invite you to join us in celebrating our vibrant and diverse food and beverage industry.

Feast Whakatū is a celebration of the incredible diversity and craftsmanship our region has to offer. 

Visitors will experience a wide range of mouth-watering delights and hands-on experiences leaving them in awe of the quality and diversity that Nelson Tasman based growers, producers, brands, chefs and restaurants create each year. Feast Whakatū is a food celebration that dares visitors to dive in with glorious abandon.

Being an event sponsor is a great way to get your brand in front of the many hundreds of participants we are expecting to the event over the 10 days of the 30 plus events that make up the festival – let alone a great opportunity to be part of the marketing and communication that will happen to promote this event and sell tickets.

Feast Whakatū appeals to a sophisticated demographic with high levels of household and disposable income.

The festival is intentionally pitched to people who like new experiences, appreciate our food and beverage craftsmanship and local produce. Quite often they will have experience and knowledge in wine varieties and a taste for a locally crafted beverage. They regularly visit restaurants and are often well traveled.

Feast Whakatū visitors are the kind of people who seek out artisanal products and support quality culinary experiences. Feast Whakatū is a convenient way for event visitors to sample different food and wine from throughout the region in a single place.

This event is intended to become a staple of the region’s event calendar and is expected to grow substantially over time.

Is this a fit for you?

If you’re looking for an opportunity for your organisation or brand to break into a premium demographic and align yourself closely with this industry, or to consolidate the position you already have, Feast Whakatū is a rare opportunity to be seen at a high profile event.

Event sponsors and hosts of the inaugural event will have first right of refusal for similar event sponsorship opportunities next year.

The time to solidify your brand’s spot in the hearts and minds of the visitors attending this exciting event is available now but won’t last long.

We urge you to support what will become a ‘must do’ on New Zealand’s event calendar.

There are lots of benefits to be had as an event sponsor, including:

  • Feast Whakatū brings lovers of all things culinary to taste and experience the quality and craftsmanship produced in Whakatū each year.

  • You’ll be talking to people who get it. They understand that Whakatū is renowned for food, produce, wine, craft beer and boutique beverages, but they will leave the event astounded at the diversity, quality, craftsmanship and flavour this region has to offer.

  • Feast Whakatū assembles the best of the best producers, chefs, brands and personalities from across the region. It’s a true celebration of sunshine, exceptional food and beverages as well as the laid-back vibe the region is synonymous for.

  • This is a rare opportunity for your organisation to diversify into a genuinely premium market or to solidify the position you already hold.
