Since 2016, Korea's leading celebration of Jeju's pristine ingredients — where world-class chefs, wine, and the island's nature come together.
Launched in 2016, the Jeju Food & Wine Festival (JFWF) marks its 11th year. By exploring Jeju's pristine ingredients and sharing the island's culinary value with the world, JFWF goes beyond a simple festival to present a distinctive food culture where Jeju's nature and aesthetics come together. Building on a decade of heritage, we continue a gastronomic journey that delivers fresh inspiration.
Founded in 2016, the Korea Food & Wine Festival Organization is a non-profit social-contribution body created by uniting the private sector, government, and businesses. Each year we host the Jeju Food & Wine Festival to share Jeju's pristine ingredients and food culture with the world — supported by Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and some 70 partner organizations, and co-hosted with Cheju Halla University.
We introduce Jeju's clean ingredients to the world, spotlighting the value of the high-quality produce and seafood that the island's nature provides.
We develop new culinary-tourism content for Jeju, contributing to establishing the island as a global gastronomic destination.
By training student chefs who will lead the future foodservice industry, we share creative culinary skills and cultivate the next generation of talent.
Hello. I am Moon-Sun Jung, Chairman of the Korea Food & Wine Festival Organization, which hosts JFWF. Korea's food-culture industry holds immense potential for growth, and Jeju stands at its very center. Recognizing the bright future of gastronomic-culture tourism, JFWF began in 2016 and has since established itself as a signature event of Jeju, one of Korea's leading tourist destinations.
JFWF has earned international attention: world-renowned chefs contribute their talents, and many visitors — deeply impressed by Jeju's food culture — go on to champion the island as ambassadors. We also give culinary students the invaluable experience of cooking alongside world-class chefs. Proceeds from the festival support a fund to nurture future chef talent — an achievement created together by Jeju residents, tourists, producers, restaurants, students, and chefs.
The success of JFWF over the years would not have been possible without the support of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, the Jeju Tourism Organization, Cheju Halla University, and our many sponsoring companies. We will continue to contribute to Korea's culture through an open gastronomic event that everyone can enjoy. Thank you sincerely for your continued interest and participation.
