It’s time to gather your friends, family and even fur babies, because the beloved winter wine festival, Shortest Lunch, is returning to the Yarra Valley next month!
On Saturday 17 June and Sunday 18 June, nine members of the Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries will open their boutique, family-run cellar doors and sheds for wine-lovers to enjoy two days of tastings, carefully curated bites, fire pits, stunning views and live music.
The unique ‘festival’ experience showcases some of the best-kept secrets of the Yarra Valley, and introduces patrons to a delightful world of small-batch, minimal-intervention wines that represent the region at its purest.
A decadent and diverse selection of meals will be available at each participating winery, with menu offerings ranging from homemade apple pies and cheese platters to classic Italian fare and American-style BBQ. Kids and those with dietary requirements won’t miss out either, with most wineries catering for both.
There will be glasses and bottles of wine to purchase, as well AS exclusive Shortest Lunch cellar-door specials only available that weekend!
A percentage of proceeds from this year’s Shortest Lunch event will go to local community groups, with the event having raised over $97,000 shared amongst local schools and organisations like Make A Wish since its inception.
For just $35 for a single day, or $50 for a weekend ticket, patrons will have access to the festival on both days and receive a souvenir wine glass to keep.
