Jeju Food and Wine Festival

The Jeju Food & Wine Festival (JFWF), Jeju Island’s representative gourmet festival, is a cultural event that promotes the value of Jeju’s ingredients and its gastronomic culture to domestic and international audiences through dishes utilizing Jeju’s pristine produce. Celebrating its 11th anniversary this year, the festival will be held across Jeju from May 23 to June 13 under the keyword "Back to the Essence." A diverse range of programs will be offered, including a ‘Gala Dinner’ where you can enjoy a 6-course formal pairing dinner presented by top-tier domestic and international star chefs; ‘Gourmet Week,’ where you can experience gourmet dining through collaborations with chefs, celebrities, and brands centered around establishments representing Jeju’s cuisine; ‘Gourmet Dinner,’ featuring Jeju’s key ingredient, Jeju pork, presented by representative Jeju restaurants and star chefs; a practical ‘Master Chef Class’ where you can directly experience and interact with Gourmet Dinner chefs’ recipes and cooking secrets; a ‘Dessert Fair’ where you can enjoy Jeju’s representative desserts and famous cafes all in one place; a ‘Gourmet Symposium’ that expands gastronomic trends into a lifestyle and allows you to listen and understand through the five senses; ‘Movie Fubi,’ a special outdoor screening where you can enjoy gourmet movies against the backdrop of the Sanbangsan Mountain view; and ‘Wine & Traditional Liquor Tasting,’ held at a traditional Jeju hotel with an ocean view that inherits the legacy of a 150-year-old fishing village. The Jeju Food & Wine Festival 2026 will be held throughout Jeju, including at Jeju Shinhwa World, Jeju CS Hotel, Jeju Halla University, and 200 Gourmet Spoon restaurants across the island. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated as scholarships to foster future chef talent.
