WOW, YOU VINEHOPPERSOUTDID YOURSELVES FORVINEHOP 2024

While we know the weather situation wasn’t blue skies and sunshine – you guys showed up ready to taste the house down and we couldn’t be more grateful! The rain couldn’t dampen our spirits after what was another incredible event.

A huge thank you to all our amazing wineries, breweries, drink partners, bands, food vendors and event partners who helped made the day extra special as always.

And we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without YOU – so here’s to you VineHoppers! Let’s get ready for another incredible year in 2025!

7 VENUES.

 

OVER 30 LOCAL CRAFT DRINK PRODUCERS.

 

PRIVATE BUSES.

 

HOP-ON
HOP-OFF SHUTTLES.

Set across seven stunning Mornington Peninsula venues, VineHop showcases over 30 local craft drink producers all offering tastings of their favourite products.

Sample craft beers, seltzers and ciders, boutique vodka, gin, whisky and rum along with cool climate wines.

Add to that live music, DJ’s, food trucks and various transport options (which make getting around easy!) and you’ve got an epic day out that will rival any Melbourne music festival.

Choose between a range of ticket options to play your day the way you wish

 

Shuttle tickets (North or South Shuttle) include access to four venues on a hop-on-hop-off style bus.

Festival Hub @ The Briars ticket is for those wanting to visit just one venue. This is our largest venue, with more bars, more food and a real festival vibe.

Private Bus and GA tickets for those wanting a more exclusive experience. Visit any of the 7 venues on your own schedule.

All ticket options include tastings. VineHop 2025 is an 18+ event!
This year, due to a change in the shuttle format there are fewer tickets, so get your crew together and sign up to our VIP list for first access to tickets before they sell out!

Third year going and it just keeps getting better. So many people to manage and it has improved and been more organised every time. Thanks for another great year. See you in 2020 xx

Great day out. Organisers were very accomadating to our group. Scenery was lovely. Busy, but not overcrowded. Staff were orgainised enough. Lines werent too long. Enough toilets to go round without toilet paper running out 🙂
Would have liked music at all venues from the beginning. Perhaps some more cider and shade- perfect weather this year, but who knows for the future.

Awesome day from beginning to end – we hopped on a bus and were driven to 4 different peninsula wineries where we tried a ”few” wines and had such fun with our lovely friends. The whole day was so well organised, plenty of free tastings available, plenty of yummy food to purchase (or you could byo), and great music to sing and/dance to – we’ll be back next year!!

HOW DID VINEHOP GET STARTED?

WELL, WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN MORE THAN ‘JUST’ ANOTHER WINE FESTIVAL.

 

The first Peninsula VineHop Festival in 2017 included wine, beer and cider – because we’ve always been more than ‘just’ another wine festival.

However, now our drinks line-up includes wine, spirits, seltzers, cocktails, craft beer and ciders – reflective of the dynamic and award-winning craft beverage industry in the region.

Held across multiple venues each year, the festival is not only about the drinks – live music and DJs keep the party vibes high throughout the day, and shuttle buses make it easy for festival-goers to get around from venue to venue.

Find out more about who we are, who we support and why you should join the day of fun here.
