Nestled in one of the most beautiful natural backdrops in Australia, the Grampians Grape Escape in Halls Gap is a weekend of regional wine, food and music that cannot be missed.

The iconic wine, food and music festival has been a celebration of Western Victoria’s producers and makers for the best part of 30 years. Wine poured straight from the winemaker, produce direct from the producer – GGE provides the perfect opportunity to raise your glass to the district’s hardworking families.

In 2022 the festival will be staged over 3 days, each with a differing program. Feel-Good Friday will help the festival recover from the impact of COVID-19. Ticket holders can enjoy food trucks, a festival bar and a couple of live bands all while supporting the festival.

The Saturday and Sunday will be the Grampians Grape Escape we all know and love with a village of up to 100 stalls that will indulge all their senses. From exhibitor masterclasses and cooking demonstrations, to live music and entertaining guests chefs…plus there will be plenty of free fun for the kiddies.

So whether it’s your first time, or you’ve been coming for years, the journey to the heart of Halls Gap in the first weekend of May is one that always offers something new to discover.
