An iconic festival set in the heart of the stunning Grampians National Park (Gariwerd), Grampians Grape Escape is a celebration of Western Victoria’s finest wine, food, and music. The journey there is just as memorable, with some of Australia’s most breathtaking scenery along the way.

Hosted at the foothills of the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park, GGE champions local producers, artisan food and wine makers and performers. The 2026 program spans three days, including Feel-Good Friday (live music), followed by the weekend village of 90+ exhibitors, guest chef appearances, wine masterclasses, family entertainment and the Barrique Auction.
