About Visa Wellington on a Plate

Visa Wellington on a Plate (Visa WOAP) is the largest culinary festival in the Southern Hemisphere, transforming the lower North Island into a food lover’s paradise each year. From the Kāpiti Coast and Porirua in the west to Hutt Valley and Wairarapa in the east—plus the CBD and suburbs in between—the festival celebrates creativity, hospitality, and world-class food experiences. And with our support, it also sails across Cook Strait!

“Interislander’s support for Visa Wellington On a Plate helps boost our city’s hospitality businesses and celebrates our place as New Zealand’s culinary capital.”
Penny de Borst, Head of Business Development, Wellington Culinary Events Trust
