Rhythm and Vines is a New Year's festival held in a vineyard near Gisborne, among the first cities in the world to see the new year's sunrise, and the last night runs until 6am. The bill is mostly electronic with some New Zealand pop and rock, and the crowd is largely young Kiwis camping for the week. The 2026 edition is the last at its long-time home, Waiohika Estate, before a move to a new site.
