Explore, taste and savour the best of North East Victoria's clever growers, producers, winemakers, brewers, distillers and chefs at this year's sensational High Country Harvest, opening this Friday 4 May and continuing across three packed weekends until Sunday 20 May.

The festival kicks off this Friday with a sumptuous Grand Opening Dinner at Brown Brothers Milawa. In Rutherglen, soak up the excellent collection of Aboriginal art at a cellar door feast at Rutherglen Estates or be dazzled by the world of Shiraz at Valhalla Wines. In Beechworth, the renowned local vignerons take over Bridge Road Brewers for one night only, serving up warming treats of Roast Chestnuts & Reds.

In its sixth year in 2018, the program extends the length and breadth of Victoria's spectacular High Country, from the peaks to the valleys and plains with more than 50 lip-smacking events over 17 glorious autumn days now on sale at highcountryharvest.com.au
