La Dolce Vita King Valley Wine and Food Festival
Hop between King Valley wineries to taste the state's best Prosecco.
Overview
Rolling hills, gnocchi as good as Nonna makes, and enough Prosecco to make you pop. You would be forgiven for thinking we're describing scenes from a Tuscan vineyard. Thankfully though, you can experience these Italian delights much closer to home.
The King Valley wine region in Victoria's northeast has been the epicentre of Italian familial winemaking down under for generations. To celebrate the very best of the regions flavours, 11 of the valley's wineries are throwing a wine and food festival on November 18 and 19. And for $25, you'll be able to get in on the action with proceeds being fed directly back into the wine region.
Between giving your free souvenir glass a workout sipping on Prosecco, Sangiovese and a heap of other drops, there will be lots of action to keep you occupied. Each winery is putting their own personal spin on the event with free wine tastings an obvious inclusion. Prosecco king Dal Zotto will be serving up Prosecco pops and cocktails while you play bocce or partake in a helicopter joy ride. Head to Pizzini to take part in the Ms Gnoccha Gnocchi Rolling competition at 2.30pm on both days. Or improve your dinner party expertise with a flavour matching class at Brown Brothers.
And don't worry about drawing the short straw on playing designated driver. For $35 for one day, or $50 for both, King Valley will shuttle you between wineries.
