Grapevine Gathering
Round up your partners in wine and prepare to cheers to the grape times because Grapevine Gathering is returning to the picturesque Rochford Wines this October. Sip on some of the finest wine from the Yarra Valley region while enjoying a line-up that's chock-full of homegrown and international talents. This festival is brought to you by the team behind beloved fests like Pitch Music and Arts, Beyond the Valley, For the Love and more, and as you would expect, it has an insane line-up. This year, boogie to the likes of the Kooks, Peking Duk, Ball Park Music, Gus Dapperton, Jack River, the Veronicas, Confidence Man, Alice Skye, Nyxen and Becca Hatch. The festival has also recruited viral TikTok celebrities the Inspired Unemployed to host, perform changeover DJ sets and lead the crowd in various other shenanigans. The duo gave DJing a crack on a segment of The Bachelorette, and while their dancing was more on point than their DJing, hopefully by October they'll have mastered the craft. The chardonnay, shiraz, merlot, beers and ciders will be flowing, so to help line your stomach there will also be wood-fired pizzas, gourmet burgers and slow-cooked and smoked treats on offer. You can register for pre-sale tickets until 3pm on Wednesday, May 25 and general public tickets go on sale from noon on Thursday, May 26. Need to get your live music fix? These are the best gigs to see this month.
