Shedfest - Proudly Sponsored by Longfellows
All wineries have sheds; usually housing crushers, barrels, tractors and other equipment vitally important to the production of fine wines. Every year, on the second weekend in October, fifteen wineries along the Warburton Highway open their sheds for two days of fabulous food, fine wine, live music and entertainment.
If your type of festival is one where you can take it easy, taste local produce, experience the charm of small vineyards, be captivated by stunning views, chat to the makers, tap your toes to some fine tunes, play pétanque and watch the kids have fun - all while sipping delightful wines...
...then Shedfest Wine Festival is for you.
