The annual Strategem Bendigo Winemakers Festival is on Easter Sunday every year.
Meet the winemakers of the region, sample the best Bendigo wines and enjoy live music in a tranquil garden setting of the stunning Botanical Gardens in Castlemaine.
This event has become a favourite for wine enthusiasts. With more than 20 wineries represented, in many cases by the winemakers themselves, this is a great chance to hear about the latest vintage firsthand.
From fully-flavoured, rich ripe reds to elegant whites, the wines from Bendigo’s gold-bearing soils are a wine lover’s treasure. The climate and soil of Central Victoria, with its deep soils and long hours of summer sunshine, are ideal for growing Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon for which the region is known. Other local varieties include Merlot, Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Semillon, Riesling, Chardonnay and Sparkling.
