Not Your Average Winefestival27 and 28 November · Kanaal30 Utrecht · tickets from €15 →
A day ticket costs €15, including a festival glass and a free masterclass. Not Your Average Winefestival is the wine festival where the winemaker, not the DJ, is on the main stage. Six winemakers from across Europe pour their wines for you in person. No importer, no middleman: you taste straight from the maker, hear the story behind every bottle and buy what you love at the source.
On Friday 27 and Saturday 28 November 2026 we return to Kanaal30 in Utrecht, the raw industrial venue on the water where we celebrated the harvest edition in September. This winter edition lands right before the holidays: the wines you taste go home with you straight away, for your own table or as a gift.

Six small European estates travel to Utrecht in November and pour their own wines. We reveal the names one by one over the coming weeks. Want to know what calibre to expect? In September Poggio Bbaranèllo (Lazio), Grandbois Weine (Mosel), Weingut Leo Aumann (Thermenregion), Bodegas Heras Cordón (Rioja), ABK6 (Bordeaux) and Chon Frères Vignerons (Loire) stood behind the table. Browse all ONWINE winemakers to see where the new names might come from. Bought a ticket? Then you hear the line-up first, by email.
Every ticket includes a free masterclass. In a short 30-minute session you dig deeper with a winemaker of your choice and taste three of their wines. Once the line-up is announced, you will see which masterclasses are on offer. In the week before the festival you receive a separate email with the link to sign yourself (and your friends) up for the session that suits you. Places are limited, so be quick.
Good wine calls for good food. On site you will find a proper oyster bar and a food truck that pairs wine and food: a matching bite for every wine you taste. And everything you taste, you can buy directly from the winemaker: take it with you right away, or have larger orders delivered to your home. That way your wines for the holidays are in the house on time.

What about the shipping costs?
Wine purchased via Onwine comes directly from the winery.
All wineries pack the bottles themselves and hand them over to our shipping partner. Onwine works with boxes the size of 6 or 12 bottles.
To guarantee safe delivery, it is therefore also a requirement that orders are always made in multiples of 6 bottles.
The following shipping costs apply:
You can order from several wineries at the same time. The above shipping costs apply to each individual winery.
