Wine & Food Festival in the Grampians, Victoria

The Grampians are one of Victoria’s most majestic natural tourist attractions and offer visitors some of the most breathtaking views in Australia.

It’s against this amazing backdrop that a community of world-class wineries, breweries, cider houses and producers have come together and thrived for almost 30 years at the Grampians Grape Escape.

There is no doubt about it, this is all about the wine and some delicious food to match.

But there is so much more than that on offer, with handcrafted treasures, two days of live music, cooking demonstrations, masterclasses, meet and greets with guest chefs, kid’s activities and more. So, whether you’re tasting wine or driving the tribe, there is something for everyone at this iconic festival.
