Plenty of faces, fewer crowds.
Off-Peak. On Point.
Ballarat’s Best Pie is back and bigger than ever this winter with more than 35 pies vying for top honours.
Sweet and savoury options from the region’s best pubs, restaurants, cafes and bakeries will battle it out in a range of categories including the all-new Brilliantly Unexpected Pie.
You can also have your say with the People’s Choice Pie. With entries like the chicken enchilada pie, the eggs benny pie (hello, hangover remedy!) and the limoncello meringue pie, the one thing you can expect is to have to make some delicious – but difficult – decisions!

WILLOW + HUTCH
Willow + Hutch is more than just a store – it’s a place to slow down, discover something special and feel right at home.
Tucked within a charming Victorian red-brick corner store in the leafy streets of Soldiers Hill, Willow + Hutch is a warm and inviting space thoughtfully brought to life by Luke. With a background in interior design and a passion for collected pieces and quality craftsmanship, Luke has carefully curated every detail of the store to feel both beautiful and deeply personal.
Each corner reflects Luke’s eye for design and love of creating lived-in, welcoming spaces – featuring thoughtfully selected homewares, heartfelt gifts and indulgent body products sourced from both local artisans and international brands. Antique furniture, repurposed as shop fittings, adds a delightful sense of nostalgia and whimsy, encouraging a feeling of comfort and discovery.
From the moment you step inside you’re welcomed by the soft textures of cushions, the gentle glow of ambient lighting and the soothing aroma of locally hand-poured candles – blending perfectly with the scent of freshly-brewed coffee from our in-store café. Whether you’re stopping in for a peaceful moment with coffee and cake or grabbing a takeaway treat, our café offers the perfect complement to your visit.

TALTARNI
Respecting our land, reflecting our place.
Our expert team channels 50+ years of winemaking, living on and regenerating this land and producing wines that speak of our home in the Pyrenees region.
It’s here that we challenge and create with confidence. The result? Highly-awarded sparkling and table wines that reflect our home: subtle, yet complex, fresh and welcoming.
Stop by. We’d love to show you around and share the Pyrenees in the winter with you. Picture yourself nestled by the fireplace, savouring a big red paired with locally-sourced cheeses and enjoying live music.
While our land is rich and vast, our cellar door is a welcoming home – a place to explore, relax and connect. Our pet-friendly winery is more than just a stop on a wine tour. It’s your chance to unwind, relax and feel at home. Whether it’s sampling some rare offerings or relishing in the scenic views and warm hospitality, here the pour is an invitation – to come together, to belong and to share in the legacy we’re building together. But whether you’re at our cellar door or enjoying Taltarni elsewhere, this feeling of home is captured in every bottle – because our place is created for all to share.
