While Adelaide has the Barossa Valley, Sydney has the Hunter and Melbourne the Mornington Peninsula, Ballarat’s go-to wine region is the Pyrenees.
Today more than 25 wineries in the Pyrenees offer exceptional cellar-door experiences, picnics, barrel tastings and award-winning restaurants.
The region’s wineries will celebrate end-of-vintage and outdoor lifestyle at the Pyrenees Unearthed Festival on 13 April. With sensational wine, delicious food, local produce and live entertainment, the Pyrenees Unearthed Wine and Food Festival promises a brilliant day out for all ages.
Held along the banks of the Avoca River, patrons can sample a broad range of wines from over 25 Pyrenees and Grampians wineries with local beer, cider and gin also available. The Wine Auction held throughout the afternoon provides the opportunity to secure some rare and valuable vintages.
The Pyrenees Unearthed Festival is also a family-friendly event, with free children's activities and return buses to the event are available from Maryborough, St Arnaud and Ballarat.
