Not Your Average Winefestival27 and 28 November · Kanaal30 Utrecht · tickets from €15 →
Five tickets and a bottle of bubbles for €75. The Friends ticket is the easiest way to bring your friends, your team or your family to Not Your Average Winefestival: 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: with five of you, you taste a good chunk of Europe in one afternoon and take your holiday wines home straight away.

Single tickets are €15 per person. Coming as five? The Friends ticket sorts the whole group in one go and adds a bottle of bubbles.
The Friends ticket costs €75 for five people. For that you get the full festival five times over, five festival glasses, five free masterclasses and a bottle of bubbles on arrival.
So you pay the same as for five separate day tickets, but you start your afternoon with a bottle of bubbles on us.
The Friends ticket is valid for five people on one day: choose Friday 27 or Saturday 28 November above. We are open from 16:00 to 23:00 on both days. Coming with a bigger group, say your team or your whole wine club? Order several Friends tickets, or drop us an email and we will sort it out together.
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 four friends up. Tip: spread your group across different winemakers, so together you taste the most and compare notes at the bar afterwards. 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. With five of you a case fills up fast: take it with you right away, or have larger orders delivered to your home, in time for the holidays.

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.
