Food & Wine Precinct

Local Wines & Beer

The Festival this year brings to you the wine producers of Nillumbik (Diamond Valley), a sub-region of the Yarra Valley located just a few kilometres to the north east of Eltham. Vineyards represented are Lovegrove Winery, Cottles Bridge; Nillumbik Estate, Smiths Gully and Swipers Gully, Kangaroo Ground. All three vineyards produce estate grown and bottled wines, each with their distinct characters reflecting the many & varied micro-climates of the Diamond Valley – a truly fascinating boutique wine region for any discerning wine taster.

Pop into the wine marquee, meet the winemaker and grab a glass of crisp aromatic Sauvignon Blanc or Verduzzo, or a gutsy red with your lunch – discover some of these hidden jewels of the Diamond Valley! All wines will be available for tasting and take away sales.

For beer lovers we have on offer the fruit of the grain & hop in the guise of Buckley’s fine beers from Healsville.
