The word is out – Auckland has announced an exciting new, region-wide festival, Elemental AKL, and Craft’d Wine +
Spirits Festival is proud to be one of the events.

events, light shows, cultural performances and uplifting entertainment, transforming eateries and bars, theatres, public
spaces right across Tāmaki Makaurau.
Craft’d founder Sue Duncan says she’s excited to have Craft’d in the lineup and her event is an essential stop on the
Elemental AKL journey.
“Our vision to ‘celebrate independents’ is inspired by the incredible quality of emerging wine and spirits brands in New
Zealand.
“There are 697 wineries in New Zealand and 603 of them are small production, independent brands - producing some of the
country’s finest wines. Likewise, there is a proliferation of exceptional New Zealand distilleries making stunning
tastes and winning awards worldwide,” says Sue.
“Craft’d will bring these wonderful innovative independent brands together under one roof for one day as part of the
Elemental AKL festival and we can’t wait to show off all the products from these incredible wine and spirits
entrepreneurs.
“Craft’d melds entertainment and education to create the perfect day out for both wine and spirit lovers, with
masterclasses where visitors can learn more, along with food and music to complete the package,” she says.
