An international flagship exhibition dedicated to luxury living made its Hong Kong debut on Wednesday, showcasing a premier selection of high-end products and bespoke lifestyle experiences.

Positioned as a gathering for luxurious lifestyle enthusiasts, the inaugural Festival of Connoisseurs features a curated array of superyachts, supercars, private jets, exceptional wines, fine jewelry and watches, drawing international connoisseurs and high-spending visitors. 

Organized by global exhibitions organizer Informa Markets, the main event runs from Wednesday to Friday at AsiaWorld-Expo, with a public showcase from Friday through Sunday at the Lantau Yacht Club.

The three-day luxury event is the first international exhibition supported by the HKSAR government’s newly earmarked HK$100 million ($12.8 million) funding initiative to organize large-scale, high-quality international exhibitions, in a bid to drive high value-added economic activities and consolidate the city's position as a global convention and exhibition hub.
