EVENT INFO

BEECHWORTH

Our festival is based in Beechworth, a historic town
560m above sea level and close to some of Australia’s
largest hop farms. It’s shaped by rugged terrain, fertile
farmland, and a long tradition of quality producers.

The town has a strong food and wine culture, with
acclaimed hospitality and shopping set among one of
Australia’s best-preserved Gold Rush-era streetscapes.
Step just outside town, and you’ll find waterfalls, trails,
and peaks that make the High Country an undeniably
special part of Victoria.

It’s a truly unique place.
