One of the Yarra Valley’s favourite winter events is returning bigger than ever, with the Fireside Wine Trail taking over Healesville on Saturday 27 June.
The one-day event will bring together 27 wineries from across the region, spread across six venues in the heart of town, giving visitors the chance to taste their way through the Yarra Valley without ever leaving Healesville.
From boutique producers to well-known cellar doors, the trail is designed to showcase the diversity of the region’s wine scene while fire pits, winter food, DJs and live music keep things cosy throughout the day.
Participating venues include Barrique, Healesville Hotel, Four Pillars Distillery, Payten & Jones, Jayden Ong Winery & Cellar Bar and Giammarino Wines, each hosting a curated line-up of wineries and special experiences.
Barrique will shine a spotlight on Nillumbik producers including Buttermans Track, Nillumbik Estate and Kings of Kangaroo Ground, while Healesville Hotel will host major names like St Huberts, Giant Steps, Soumah and Coldstream Hills.
Elsewhere, Four Pillars Distillery will pour wines from e’Stellar Estate, Punt Road Wines and Boat O’Craigo, while Payten and Jones welcomes Pachamama, Alkimi Wines and Decent Wines.
Jayden Ong Winery & Cellar Bar will showcase TarraWarra Estate, Tillie J Wines and Hirsch Hill Wines, while Giammarino Wines teams up with Santolin Wines, Denton View Hill and Innocent Bystander’s Airstream caravan.
Each ticket includes a souvenir wine glass, unlimited tastings across all venues and access to the hop-on hop-off shuttle bus connecting every stop on the trail. Visitors can also book a return shuttle from Eltham or Lilydale alongside their ticket purchase.
General admission tickets are priced at $38.50, with early bird offers available now.
