Harvest Moon Festival
Delatite Winery is hosting its first-ever harvest festival, featuring a three-day program packed with sustainable food, wine and wellness.
Overview
If you're in need of some rejuvenation, a weekend in Mansfield among stunning vistas and beautiful vineyards could be just for you. That's where Delatite Wines will be hosting its first Harvest Moon Festival from Friday, May 13–Sunday, May 15. Get ready to feel energised under a full moon — or, an almost full moon — as harvest comes to an end.
The three-day event will be held at Delatite's new cellar door and restaurant. Kick off the festivities with a hot air balloon ride, then spend the weekend doing yoga among the vines, meditating and even indulging in a cold water submersion in the dam. There'll obviously be plenty of drops going around for tasting, plus a good balance of local produce markets and food trucks. And, you can also some fine dining with a fire-roasted feast by Pope Joan's Bente Grysbaek.
The program also has a strong focus on sustainability through exploring all the natural elements, curating a wholesome experience that marries nature, wine and wellness. If you're keen, you can delve into the world of regenerative and open-gate farming, sustainable architecture and biodynamics thanks to the festival's seminar program.
Then, to wrap things up, you can end the weekend with a free tree planting session.
Some sessions are free, others are ticketed — and you can find the full program on the festival's website.
