The Shortest Lunch

Held in the middle of winter every year, its a race around the Valley to eat (and drink) as much as you can before the sun goes down! Many smaller wineries participate. Get your tickets early to avoid missing out!

Shed Fest

This is the real boutique, where the small, family owned and run producers get together and make a big noise! Often overlooked on the main tourist trail, these smaller wineries and producers put on a real show for Shed Fest every year. It's awesome, it's fun and you don't even have to book. Just turn up at your first winery and - party!

Tarrawarra Museum of Art

A magnificent venue featuring award winning architecture, restaurant, cafe, Cellar Door and Galley all set withing beautifully landscaped gardens.
