PULP Yarra Valley

Overview

It's time to charge your glasses for some grape-based festivities, because one of Victoria's best-known winemaking regions just scored a brand new 10-day wine festival. The inaugural PULP fest descends on the Yarra Valley from Friday, November 11–Sunday, November 20, for an extended celebration of local winemaking goodness.

Unfolding across multiple regional venues — and a few inner-city spots, too — PULP's jam-packed program is stuffed full of tasting parties, feasts, showcases, gigs and more, paying equal homage to the scene's legends and its emerging stars.

Highlights include a rollicking 90s-themed party launching Rob Dolan's latest retro-leaning range (November 19), and a collaborative DJ-fuelled shindig by wineries Jayden Ong and Timo Mayer, featuring skinsy vino, barbecue eats and mezcal negronis (November 18).

You can catch one of Chandon's sparkling-matched, out-of-the-box high teas; team wine tastings with tacos at a lively event at FIN's cellar door (November 12); or swing past your local Wine Republic store for a taste of all the Yarra Valley wines that should be on your radar (November 11–19).
