Spend the Anzac Day long weekend blazing a trail through Heathcote with Stars and Bars Festival. This one-day festival is a hybrid of a country music festival, food and wine festival and regional bus tour.
The day kicks off at 10.30am when punters can board the Heathcote Express for a tour of some of the region's finest wine, beer, and food producers. The luxury buses will take you to 150-year-old pub Toobarac Hotel and Brewery for a couple of pints before taking you to visit small-batch wineries including Domain Asmara, Wren Estate and Condie Estate.
As you taste and explore, you'll also get to enjoy live country, blues and folks music from the likes of the Seven Ups, Karl S. Williams, Leslie D. King and the Trembling Shakes, Jungle Jim smith, Nathan Seeckts, Riley Catherall, Rhianna Fibbins and Pete Daly. By 5.30pm, you'll arrive at your final stop, Palling Bros Brewery, where you'll be treated to a meal and some beverages before the evening session kicks off.
Tickets start at $104.80 for the bus tour plus the evening session or from $43.60 for just the evening session. For more information and to purchase your tickets, head to the Oztix website.
