Shedfest at Wild Cattle Creek
Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th October 2008
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, ten wineries along the Warburton Highway open their doors for two days of fabulous food, fine wine, live music and entertainment.
If your type of festival is one where you can relax, taste local produce, experience the charm of small vineyards, be captivated by stunning views, chat to the winemakers, tap your toes to some fine tunes, all while sipping delightful wines...then Shedfest Wine Festival is for you. Entry is free to all wineries and for the first time this year a free bus service is available, visiting half the wineries on the Saturday and the other half on the Sunday. Bus bookings are essential - phone 5964 2016 to book or enquire about the timetables. The festival officially runs from 11am to 5pm over the weekend.

Start the fun early on Sunday with a scrumptious Rustic Charm breakfast (served 9am to 11am) with the Shedfest festival officially kicking off at 11am.
Live music featured throughout the weekend is Mainstream – our ever popular and rockin' resident band.
All our Wild Cattle Creek wines will be available for tasting and we will be offering some great Cellar Door wine specials during Shedfest - so be sure to drop by the second weekend of October to enjoy our Warbie Hwy Wine Festival - Shedfest.
