FAQs
- WHAT DOES A VINEHOP TICKET INCLUDE?
North or South Shuttle Ticket: Access to 4 venues on your route, shuttle transport, entertainment at each venue, a branded glass and lanyard, bar tastings, and food truck access. Its basically your bus and a GA ticket bundled into one.
GA Ticket (General Admission): Access to all 7 VineHop venues, entertainment, a branded glass and lanyard, bar tastings, and food truck access. This is the ticket you need if you’re on a Private Bus or if you’re getting an Uber from venue to venue.
Private Bus Ticket: Private bus hire (11, 24 or 57-seat) with driver for 8 hours, venue transport, and pickup/drop-off at a nominated location. A GA ticket must be purchased for all patrons on the bus.
Festival Hub @ The Briars Ticket: Entry to The Briars, entertainment, glass and lanyard, bar tastings and food trucks access. No bus transport included with this ticket, but can be added. Free on-site parking is available.
- DO I NEED TO BOOK A BUS FOR VINEHOP?
Yes – you’ll need to travel by bus (or with a taxi/uber) to visit the 6 smaller VineHop venues, as there is no parking available. If you’re only visiting the Festival Hub at The Briars then you can drive and park if you wish.
You can choose to:
Catch a North or South Shuttle (bus included in ticket)
Book a Private Bus, or get an uber/taxi (GA ticket also required)
Drive to The Festival Hub @ The Briars only – free parking is available there
- CAN I ARRANGE MY OWN PRIVATE BUS?
Yes, if your group is 11 people or fewer. In this instance your driver cannot be a patron attending the festival, they cannot park at any venue (other than The Briars) and they must follow our transport guidelines.
Groups of 12+ must use VineHop Private or Shuttle Buses. Private buses not booked through VineHop will be turned away—even with valid tickets.
- WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Your ticket
Card or cash for food and drinks
ID (if you look under 25)
Picnic blanket or camping chairs (optional)
Sun protection or wet-weather gear
Good vibes!
Already got a VineHop glass and lanyard?
Bring it along and reuse it!
- MY FRIENDS AND I ARE ON THE SAME SHUTTLE, BUT DEPARTING FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. HOW DO WE START AT THE SAME VENUE?
At each pickup point (Seaford, Mornington, and Rosebud), four shuttle buses will depart at the same time—each heading to a different first venue.
To make sure your group starts at the same venue, look out for the bus letters:
Bus A (Seaford), Bus AA (Mornington), and Bus AAA (Rosebud) all go to the same first venue.
Likewise, B, BB, and BBB all head to Venue B, and so on
Once you’re at your first venue, you’re free to hop on any VineHop shuttle to continue your day.
- WHERE DO I COLLECT MY GLASS?
Shuttle Bus riders: Pick up at the bus stop before boarding or at your first venue (if you have a ‘Start at a Venue’ shuttle ticket)
Private Bus riders: Collect on your bus.
Festival Hub attendees: Collect on entry.
You can reuse a previous VineHop glass and lanyard if you wish.
- DOES MY TICKET NEED TO HAVE MY NAME ON IT?
No, if you’re booked as a group our tickets only show the booking person’s name, not the individual attendees names.
If you need to name change (as you’re selling your ticket), we recommend doing this through a third-party site such as Tixel. - CAN I BRING FOOD AND/OR WATER?
Yes, you’re welcome to bring snacks and nibbles into all venues.
Each venue has food options to purchase and water refill stations if you bring your own bottle. - DO I NEED TO PRINT MY TICKET?
Private Bus passengers must bring a printed ticket.
All others can show an e-ticket.
