Explore the best drops that western Victoria has to offer at the Pyrenees Unearthed Festival, a massive one-day festival on April 22 that takes over the lush banks of the Avoca River. More than 20 winemakers of the Pyrenees and Grampians region will be in attendance, as well as an impressive line-up of local beer, cider, gin and food producers.
This region is known for producing high-quality sparkling wines and dense, purple and peppery shiraz, and these drops and more will be on offer from producers including Amherst Winery and Blue Pyrenees Estate. While you sip, you can enjoy a musical line-up that leans folk and blues with artists like the Groove Dudes and Eleanor Parry taking the stage.
The Avoca River is around a two-hour drive from the Melbourne CBD, so with a festival start time of 11am you could easily make the journey in the morning. If you're keen to explore more of the region after the festival, you can also book in at local accommodation or camp at one of the many picturesque sites nearby.
Children under the age of 16 can attend for free, and tickets for adults start at $75 through the website.
