This year's Hong Kong Wine and Dine Festival, organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, promises to be extra delicious for food loving visitors.

The 10-day event, Oct. 30-Nov. 8, wraps up Hong Kong's Year of Food and Wine Festival.

During the festival there will be street carnivals, food-district promotions, the Sai Kung Seafood Festival, a hotel dine-around program, the International Wine & Spirits Fair, wine appreciation classes, and guided walks and cooking demonstrations led by renowned Hong Kong chefs. There will also be live entertainment and a sound and light show.

Some streets will be decorated and closed to traffic so performers can mingle with crowds. And delicious food will be available everywhere from booths and restaurants.

Special tours include sunset cocktail cruises of Victoria Harbour, a Hong Kong Island tour with dim sum lunch, seafood and wine buffets on Lamma Island, and special menus at Wan Chai's Revolving 66 Restaurant -- the only revolving restaurant in town.

The Hong Kong Tourist Board has produced guidebooks for visitors who like to go off-the-beaten-path to discover local eateries. And two Canadian tour operators have packages.

Silkway Travel has a five-night Hong Kong: Best Place, Best Taste trip from $1,160, including Cathay Pacific flights from Vancouver, accommodation, participation in Hong Kong's Cultural Kaleidoscope visitor program, and time to explore the food scene.
