Winter festival

A delicious weekend among the bushland

Imagine wandering through lush bushland, a glass of Yarra Valley wine in hand, while surrounded by the unique magic of Healesville Sanctuary. As the winter chill settles in, this annual festival brings a warm, vibrant energy to one of our region’s most beloved natural settings.

You’ll find a curated selection of local spirits, beers, and wines waiting to be discovered, paired perfectly with a variety of pop-up food trucks. It is the ultimate way to celebrate the best of our local producers while enjoying the spectacular wildlife that calls the sanctuary home.

Whether you are a connoisseur of fine vintages or just looking for a great weekend outing with friends, the atmosphere is always relaxed and festive. You can wander between tasting stations, grab a hearty bite from the food trucks, and soak in the stunning scenery that makes the Yarra Valley so special.

Located just a short, scenic drive from Warburton, it is the perfect excuse for a Healesville day trip during the weekend of August 29–30.

Make sure you secure your spot early, as this popular ticketed event fills up quickly.
