After a two year hiatus, the Grampians Grape Escape is returning for 2022. For the first time in its history, the iconic festival is offering a long weekend of world-class wines, gourmet food and live music, in the foothills of Mount William. All up, the not-for-profit festival will celebrate over 100 producers from Western Victoria.
Kicking off on Friday April 29 and finishing Sunday May 1, the weekend will start with an afternoon of food trucks, local wines and '80s covers.
The Grampians Grape Escape returns in April.
Across Saturday and Sunday visit an array of food stalls, taste hundreds of wines, beers and ciders, enjoy cooking demonstrations from chefs Geoff Jansz and Emmylou MacCarthy, or try one of the culinary masterclasses aiming to inspire attendees to create gourmet feasts at home.
Be sure to catch the Barrique Auction, a festival highlight since 1992, on the Saturday when the local winemakers come together to create a one of a kind blend with the region's finest grapes. All proceeds will go towards supporting the Grampians Wine Region.
