So the Canberra Harvest Festival is on 14 and 15 April 2012. Each year some of the biggest and best wineries from the Canberra District host events and get into the festival spirit. This year, some 24 wineries will be participating.
You can't really go wrong with your selection of events, because the quality of the Canberra District has increased significantly in the last few years.
See Liquid Geography for more details on the events that will be run throughout the weekend. Wineries with restaurants attached are doing degustation lunches, and meals with matching flights of wines. Other places are offering more down to earth fair with barbecue's and relaxed meals.
Some of the more interesting events over the weekend include bottling your own wine at Dionysus Winery, sampling the fermenting wine direct from the tanks at Jeir Creek and grape stomping at Yarrh Wines.
For the record, my wife and I will be attending Brindabella Hills for the barbecue, jazz and tasting sessions, Dionysus for the bottling and Gundog Estate or the back-vintage tasting from a producer sourcing from both the Canberra District and the Hunter Valley on the Sunday.
