Taste the flavours of Yarra Valley at this family-friendly, day to night feast.

On The Palate returns on the 21st of March, 2026 for the first time since 2008 as a part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival program with a feast for the senses in the Yarra Valley.

The fair runs from 11am-5pm, where you can discover wines from over 30 independent producers, plus local distillations, craft brews and ciders.

Taste artisan cheeses, fresh produce, baked goods, and locally made goods from chocolate to caviar, plus food trucks adding to the flavour.

Live music, classic car and machinery displays, and petting zoos round out a superb afternoon fit for the whole family.

By night, explore wine dinners, list takeovers and music pairings across local venues led by local producers - with an after-dark programme soon to be announced.

Tickets are $50 for adults and include all tastings, a commemorative glass and tote for you to keep. Under 18's are free.

Shuttle Buses to run from Lilydale and Eltham train stations- tickets for those will be made available later this year.
