“A Taste of LKF” Perfectly Pairs Food and Wine for You on May 12 in Hong Kong

The 1-day event is happening next Saturday.

A Taste of LKF brings together 9 eateries and 1 wine shop in Lan Kwai Fong for 1-day only which lets you do a food and wine tour on next Saturday, May 12th.

We thought we’d been to every place in LKF, but the preview we attended last week proves there are lots of great places still to try still in the LKF area.

Essentially it’s a wine walk but with food – you buy a ticket which gives you tokens you can redeem over 5 hours at these 10 places – and from what we tried it’s definitely going to be a thing for every foodie and wine fan to come out for…and we have a free ticket to giveaway to one lucky Winebuzz.hk reader!

Taste Wines from USA, Australia, New Zealand, France and Italy with the Backdrop of Race Night in Happy Valley

Now you really have reason to be “happy” in the Valley.

We visited the Happy Valley racecourse last week not just for the horse racing!

The Hong Kong Jockey club is rolling out their new promotion in connection with their Wednesday night race night called Wines in the Valley which is showcasing 5 different country wines as well as some nice food choices like cheese boards and steak sandwiches, live music, wine games and of course – racing. All this for HK$160 for a wine pass to taste 6 types of wine – the rest are by the glass prices.

The country wines participating are USA, Australia, New Zealand, France and Italy and each booth has dozens of wines to try – you can even buy a bottle of the wine that you like and take it home right there.

We got there early (around 7pm) to shoot the open area before everyone flooded inside, so you could have a good look at the area – see all of the photos here on our Facebook page.

The next Wines in the Valley is TONIGHT, then you have 2 more chances – March 7 and 14th to experience wine and horse racing in Happy Valley racecourse.
