Moffatdale’s annual Vine Dining Long Lunch will be making its fifth outing this Saturday, August 17.
Organisers Clovely Estate and Bridgeman Downs Cellars promise Vine Dining fans that all the features they’ve grown to love will remain the same.
These include a free shuttle bus between both venues; souvenir Vine Dining glasses; live entertainment at each venue; and freshly cooked main meals and desserts or cheese platters at both venues too.
Vine Dining began in 2009 when the wineries decided to create a new annual event for the region’s wine buffs as well as visitors who wanted to travel from further afield.
Vine Dining runs from 10:00am through to 5:00pm rain or shine on the third Saturday each August, and its primary focus is on relaxed eating, drinking responsibly and having fun.
For visitors, the Festival also offers are a rare chance to see vineyards at the quietest time of year when the vines are “sleeping” their way through winter before they erupt back into life in early spring.
Tickets to this year’s Vine Dining are $38.
For this, guests get a souvenir wine glass and their first fill of the day; a main meal ticket; a dessert/cheese platter ticket; free shuttle bus rides all day; and live entertainment.
Tickets can be obtained from the Vine Dining Long Lunch website, or at either venue on Saturday.
This year buses will also be running from Kingaroy and Goomeri to transport visitors to and from the day.
Details about bus departure times, pickup points and charges can be obtained from the Vine Dining website.
