Nestled in the foothills of surrounding mountain ranges, the Grampians Grape Escape is taking over the beloved regional town of Halls Gap with a weekend-long program of world-class wines, gourmet food, arts and live music. After the region was devastated by severe bushfires over summer, this event is the perfect way to support the local community and its small businesses to recover with a much-needed economic boost.
Autumn is possibly the most gorgeous time in Victoria, with the region turning into a kaleidoscope of red, orange and yellow foliage. And best of all, the rolling farmlands covered in grapevines, hops and autumnal produce are all ripe for the picking. It's harvest season, and the best way to celebrate is at one of Victoria's many autumn festivals, with a glass of homegrown booze in hand.
We've rounded up the best autumn festivals to partake in this season, so have a scroll, layer your flannels and get a move on.
