If you’ve worked up a thirst this autumn, you can head out to the inaugural Yarra Valley Beer and Cider Festival, at the Lilydale Showgrounds. The festival, an initiative of the Rotary Club of Wandin and some passionate community beer and cider lovers, is focused on allowing visitors to sample some of the best craft beer and cider that Victoria has to offer. Many of the brewers and cider-makers come from the local area, with tickets costing an affordable $10 (or $30 with 10 sampling tokens included). There will be food stalls and vans as well as a great day’s entertainment.
