5 drinks events and food openings in Hong Kong this weekend, October 25-27
Avoid the Halloween parties in Hong Kong this weekend by sampling cocktails, trying some tea, or catching two bakery openings
This weekend is all about the pre-Halloween festivities, and while we have you covered on that front, there are plenty of activities for those looking for a more low-key end to the week.
Want to avoid the costumed crowds? We have plenty of alternatives to add to your dining agenda.
1. Made in Lantau Festival
Take a ferry out to picturesque Mui Wo for the Made in Lantau Festival, which promises a weekend of wholesome activities in the great outdoors, from performances to forest bathing.
The highlight for those who love a tipple is the Sip & Savour workshop (1pm-5pm on October 26 and October 27) that invites participants to explore the Ho family’s fruit orchards (which they have tended for seven decades), taste their fresh produce and also use fruits to create two unique cocktails.
There is also a special wampee canned cocktail created in collaboration with Hong Kong tea company Sage Tea that is available for purchase during the festival.

2. Plantation Tea Bar
For those looking to nurse a cup of tea in a quieter part of town, the peaceful Plantation Tea Bar in Shek Tong Tsui, on Hong Kong Island, is always a good idea. This weekend, founder Nana Chan will be hosting two special tea events.
