GRAPES OF MIRTH PRESENTS COMEDY IN THE VINES
NOVEMBER 8-10
AT MITCHELTON WINES
It is incredibly exciting for us to be returning with an ever-bigger lineup of comedy, wine, podcasts, and food. We’ve had a year to build a more extensive range of experiences for our attendees. Everyone needs the circuit breaker that Comedy in The Vines is!
We’re moving the festival to the iconic Mitchelton Winery, perhaps the most picturesque winery in Victoria - a venue Grapes of Mirth has wanted to work with for years. It’s stunning and has everything you could want on one site.
Of course, this year’s comedy lineup is impressive, but I am particularly thrilled that we have managed to exclusively secure comedy superstar Jen Brister from the U.K.
Jen has a huge fan base here in Oz (me especially), and this is the only place people can see her. Other highlights of the comedy program include Joel Creasy, Mel Buttle, Rove McManus, Melanie Bracewell, Lloyd Langford and many more!
This year, we will have an indoor stage for wine masterclasses, podcasts, and Brett Blake and Nick Capper’s “Brew Dudes”, a top gun-themed beer-drinking nerf-gun shooting cult classic of a show.
Our resident nail artist, Nails By Kirsten is returning to add flair to your fingers, and massages in the Mitchelton Day Spa will be available all weekend.
We’re dialling up the ante on the food this year, with the MKR judge and all-round good craic Colin Fassnidge dropping in to cook and share his food, as well as pitmaster Adam Roberts hosting In The Wine Of Fire - a Barbecue and wine tasting degustation on Sunday afternoon. We’re also creating an Oyster and Riesling shot bar, where acidity, heat, salt and umami meet on your tongue for a good time.
Did I mention my old mate Tim Rogers is doing a set on Sunday afternoon? Also, on Sunday morning, I’m hosting a 5km run through the vineyards at Mitchelton, where we stop every kilometre for a wine tasting! I want to see how many wine weapons join me for this free event.
If that doesn’t sound enough for you over one weekend, we will also open the site on Friday night. DJ Pedro will be playing some tunes, and we’re running a local wine-tasting night.
Nagambie is an extraordinary region, Mitchelton is an exceptional venue, and we’ve created a unique festival that will bring the joy of Spring to people and highlight the good and the great of Nagambie on the world stage.
We can’t wait to see you there!
