FIRESIDE Festival 9-24 July 2022

A celebration of winter in all its glory

Fireside Yarra Valley - a 16-day festival of events that celebrated the great things about winter in the Yarra Valley: short days, crisp nights and an icy chill in the air that steals one’s breath away, whilst awakening something within. Immerse yourself in all the season has to offer in sights, sounds, smells and tastes, against the alluring warmth of an open fire.

Running from 9th – 24th July, Fireside was the perfect opportunity to enjoy the finest foods and wines of one of Australia’s premier wine regions, featuring curated winemaker dinners, masterclasses and tasting events incorporating all the delicious elements of winter in the region; fire, smoke, warmth and wine. Plus visitors had the chance to witness several YAVA artists making art within the wineries themselves!

YAVA Artists in residence at Wineries across the Yarra Valley - over 3 weekends
Bev Hardidge, Cathie Berry, Christine Cafarella-Pearce, Di King, Mary Newham, Jen Carlyon, Jo Stone, Kate Taylor, Margaret McLoughlin, Pamela Gordon, Sabina Wills, Ying Tang
