Uncork the best of boutique Yarra Valley wineries



Shedfest is returning, bigger and better than ever! Mark your calendars for Saturday and Sunday, October 12 and 13, and head to the beautiful Yarra Valley for two days of wine tastings, live music, delicious food, and stunning scenery across fourteen family-run wineries.

This year, the festival welcomes two new wineries, Yileena Park and Helen’s Hill Estate, while Six Acres and Seville Estate are making their long-awaited return after several years. They will be joined by a stellar lineup of wineries, including Billanook Estate, Boat O’Craigo, Kellybrook, Seville Hill, Soumah, Sutherland Estate, Steels Gate, Tokar Estate, Whispering Hills, and Yering Farm

To make the festival accessible to everyone, the Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries Association has introduced a flat-rate entry ticket of $35. This ticket grants you access to tastings at all participating wineries, valid for one or both days of the event.

As always, a mouth-watering selection of dishes, all priced under $25, will be available at each winery. Expect everything from Bahn Mi, pizzas, and cheese platters to classic Italian dishes and hearty burgers. Most wineries will also offer options for kids and those with special dietary requirements.

Wine lovers can purchase glasses and bottles throughout the festival, and there will be plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, including petting zoos, live music, classic car displays, lawn games, and even frozen cocktails! Exclusive Shedfest cellar-door specials will also be available for this weekend only.

Gather your friends, family, and even your dogs (many venues are dog-friendly!) for a fun and affordable weekend exploring boutique, family-owned wineries.

Tickets are on sale now at shedfest.com.au. Use the code “EARLYBIRD” for 10 per cent off until the end of September.
