SHORTEST LUNCH 2018
Celebrating the winter Over 23 and 24 June, 12 boutique wineries across the Yarra Valley will celebrate the shortest weekend of the year with their annual food and wine festival, the Shortest Lunch. In honour of the Winter Solstice (the shortest day of the year) the Yarra Valley will become a moving feast of entrĂŠe size meals, fantastic wine and live music. The Shortest Lunch is the perfect way to meander around the Yarra Valley without the hustle and bustle, discover the region's lesser known gems and experience the beauty of vineyards in winter. Shortest Lunch attendees can enjoy some of the best food and wine the region has to offer, with menus designed specifically for the festival. Guests will also have the chance to meet the producers and enjoy some great local musicians. Winter Solstice is celebrated all over the world and is considered a turning point in the year in many cultures. Celebrations and rituals for the solstice vary all over the world but traditionally involve gatherings with loved ones, music and feasts, which is exactly what guests will find at the Shortest Lunch this year. The Shortest Lunch festival runs across 12 wineries with each offering entrĂŠe size meals, dessert and children's options. Entry is $15 which includes all tastings and souvenir glass.
