Go wild with a wine

Enjoy the Yarra Valley's finest food and wine alongside the wildlife at Healesville Sanctuary.

Healesville Sanctuary is teaming up with Yarra Valley icons for a gourmet experience with a wild difference!
Over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend of 10-12 June, the Wine and Wildlife event brings the best in food and wine against the backdrop of the Sanctuary’s stunning bushland setting.
From 11am to 4pm each day, five event spaces including undercover pavilions and grassy picnic lawns will showcase a line-up of Yarra Valley wineries, craft breweries and hearty winter food for visitors to sample and purchase.
Visitors will be able to warm up by roaring open fires and delight their senses with live acoustic music while keepers roam the grounds with some of the Sanctuary’s furry, feathered and scaly friends for serendipitous wildlife encounters.
Plus, on Saturday only, Four Pillars Gin pop-up bar on the scenic Tasmanian Devils boardwalk is open!
All Wine and Wildlife proceeds directly support Zoos Victoria’s efforts to fight the extinction of 21 local threatened species.
Tastings are included with general admission. Zoos Victoria members and children under 16 receive free entry all weekend.
Visitors are invited to throw on their gumboots and a warm coat for a weekend full of wine and foodie fun!
