Shedfest

Come to the Yarra Valley to join the fantastic Shedfest event hosted by the many small wineries in the Yarra Valley region.

Now over a decade old, the festival was established to showcase the unique charm of family-owned wineries and vineyards in the Yarra Valley.

With so many wineries in the Yarra Valley, some smaller ones can easily be overlooked. Determined not to be overshadowed, a group of smaller wineries banded together some years ago to create the Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries Association, which then created this fun event.

On Saturday 14th, and Sunday 15th of October, come and enjoy the best in Victorian climate wines with your whole family, best friends, and even your fur babies (with most venues being dog-friendly)!

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 slow-cooked brisket. Kids and those with special dietary requirements won’t miss out either, with most wineries catering for both.

There will be glasses and bottles of wine to purchase. Not to mention, there will also be exclusive Shedfest cellar-door specials only available that weekend!

There will even be an exciting competition happening at Tokar Estate, with the winery challenging chilli-lovers to conquer its Next-Level Spicy Burger. Those who finish the super-hot burger will win a bottle of Tokar Estate’s cool-climate wines on the spot.

A percentage of proceeds from this year’s Shedfest event will go to local community groups, with the event having raised over $100,000 shared amongst local schools and organisations like Make A Wish since its inception.
