Buy your ticket for the wine festival where the winemaker, not the DJ, takes the mainstage. At Not Your Average Winefestival, 6 winemakers from across Europe pour you their wine 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 11 and 12 September 2026 we land at Kanaal30 in Utrecht, a raw industrial venue by the water. This is our harvest edition: a celebration of the harvest and a beautiful wine year, together with the makers who brought it to the glass.
Your day ticket is valid for one day: choose Friday 11 or Saturday 12 September above. Both days we are open from 16.30 to 23.00. Coming as a group? Have a look at the Friends ticket: 5 tickets with a free bottle of bubbles on arrival.
Your ticket includes a free masterclass. In a short 30-minute session you go in depth with a winemaker of your choice and taste three of their wines. In the week before the festival you receive a separate email with the link to sign up you (and your friends) for the session that suits you. Places are limited, so be there on time.
Good wine calls for good food. On site you will find food trucks with fine sharing platters and a proper oyster bar, so you are well looked after all day. And everything you taste, you buy straight from the winemaker: take it with you right away, larger orders we deliver to your home.

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.
