Alongside the live music, the spectacular Poof Doof Drag Jamboree will serve up a stack of fierce drag madness. Led by your hostess with the mostest Jimi the Kween, the festive and fabulous Jamboree will deliver mesmerising moments, interactive games and queer performance art so magical you’ll start to believe that unicorns exist. The best part is that the single stage format ensures you won’t miss a thing.
This year, Wine Machine will bring the party to a new home in the Hunter Valley, the stunning Dalwood Estate on the Saturday 18 March. Established on the beautiful Hunter River in 1828, Dalwood Estate is regarded as the birthplace of Hunter Valley wine. With carefully curated lawns to create a natural amphitheatre, you’ll feel right at home.
The festival will return to its home with views across Lake George at Commonwealth Park in Canberra on Saturday 25 March, then soak up the atmosphere and natural amphitheatre at Rochford Estate in Yarra Valley on Saturday 1 April.
Indulge in some of the finest locally sourced produce as you enjoy everything Wine Machine has to offer. It’s intimate, yet spacious. It’s a garden party by day and fun fiesta by night. Taking place in the heartland of Australia’s finest wineries, you can enjoy spacious surroundings to both laze and picnic and dance and mingle.
There’s a treasure trove of art installations, garden games, pop-up bars, gourmet delights and long table lunches at Wine Machine’s Cellar Door – a playground for all to enjoy.
