Winter is here but that doesn’t mean you and the family need to stay at home. Rug up and head west to Grazeland to find your fave foodie precinct utterly transformed into a winter wonderland that will impress both kids and the young at heart. Each weekend from June 23 to July 30, the epic culinary playground will be decked out with dreamy white snow, the biggest snowman in Melbourne at ten metres high, neon lights and eye-popping balloon displays.
As the days get shorter and the temps drop to new lows, there’s never been a better excuse to venture out and have a cosy night by the river. Warm up with mulled wine by the fire pits and dig into a diverse array of international eats, including ooey-gooey raclette cheese from Frencheese, juicy German meatballs from Bratboy or Chinese fare from Lucky Little Dumplings.
Couples won’t be able to resist a fun Insta snap in front of the giant snowman or in a chairlift on top of the snowy mountain. With roving performers, live bands and interactive DJs providing plenty of entertainment, have a dance by the magical snow machine or treat the kids to a face painting session and playtime in the fun zones.
When it’s time to sit back and relax, warm up those mitts with a spice-infused wine from Jam Shed or devour a box of Dutch-style pancakes from Little Miss Dutchy.
Christmas may be far away yet, but when there’s an opportunity to have a white Christmas in July – we’ll take it!
