Following on the from the runaway success of the inaugrual event in 2025, all your favourites are BACK for 2026 and ready to pour their new vintages for you. The event will showcase the diversity and depth of seven wine regions—Nagambie Lakes, Strathbogies, King Valley, Beechworth, Rutherglen, Mansfield, and The Alpine Valleys. From elegant cool-climate varietals to powerful reds and pioneering Proseccos, the festival is a journey through the heart of High Country wine. The festival is brought to you by Melbourne wine educator, events maven and tour host, Melissa Brauer, aka The Prosecco Queen, who has been actively promoting the liquid treasures of the North East for the past 15 years, as well as running the Prosecco Festival in Melbourne for the past 8. (She also has a house in the King Valley and visits the North East every other weekend.) Adding to the flavour, chef CURTIS STONE and the team will be serving up a selection of mouthwatering snacks to complement the wines and warm the belly. Think steak baguettes, Victorian cheese boards, and other delicious bites designed with textural whites and cosy reds in mind.
