Location: Our festival hails from Beechworth – 560m above sea level and 30km from Australia’s largest hop growing farms. This is stunning country, a unique terroir of rugged hills and fertile farmlands that have cultivated North-East Victoria’s acclaimed producers. The township is alive with a vibrant food and wine scene, set against a streetscape steeped in the grandeur of yesteryear. Roam streets lined with Gold Rush architecture, lush green trees, boutiques and renowned restaurants and cafes. Venture just beyond and you’ll discover the iconic waterfalls, trails, peaks and gorges of the High Country. It's a truly unique place.
Accommodation? Beechworth accom often books out. There will be camping at Lake Sambell and Silver Creek parks. We'd also suggest looking at accom in surrounding towns like Myrtleford, Albury, Bright, Wangaratta, Wodonga.
PLEASE NOTE: This festival is a pet-free affair. Whilst we love them dearly, there is NO DOGS, CATS or FERRETS on site.
Cheers!
