Canberra is having its very own two-day, region-wide wine festival! 

The Canberra Wine District’s inaugural Stomp Festival celebrates 25+ local winemakers and producers through two days of wine, food, entertainment, activities, demonstrations, special offers, and much more. The festival aims to attract over 2500 to the district on the weekend of 29-30 April. With a range of wine, food and activities, there’s absolutely something for everyone.   

‘Our wineries and businesses have come together to create a cracking weekend of experiences for the inaugural Stomp Festival.’ said President of the CDWIA, Fergus McGhie.

‘The ticket price offers outstanding value! Stomp Festival will feature exclusive wine releases, grape stomping in half barrels, farm animals, live music, art, behind-the-scenes tours, barrel room tastings, back vintages, bike tours, demonstrations, picnics with pups, a hint of Spain, Italy and France, chocolates, country music legends, challenges, games and plenty of prizes.’

‘We’re looking forward to having large scale festivals back in the district.’  

Tickets for Stomp Festival are $29.50 for the whole two days and available for purchase at www.stompfest.com.au 

The festival is a big part in the district’s recovery, following the tough business conditions over recent years with bushfires, extreme weather events, lockdowns and restrictions due to COVID.
