Yass, NSW - Food and Travel

Yass, NSW

What’s better than celebrating with wine on a weekend? Celebrating wine for a whole week! And right now, the wineries of the Yass Valley are getting ready to take part in the Canberra District Wine Week – a celebration of harvest time from 31 March to 9 April 2017.

Canberra District Wine Week is a ten-day program of wine tastings, food matchings, tours and events which will be held across the entire Canberra district including Hall, Bungendore and of course Gundaroo, Murrumbateman and Yass in the Yass Valley.

Some of Yass Valley’s best wineries and restaurants are really worth checking out over Wine Week. Ewe and Me Restaurant in Yass is offering a degustation dinner on Saturday 1 April, and you can enjoy ‘left field’ wines and canapes at Clementine Restaurant in Yass on Wednesday 5 April.

Other Yass Valley based events taking place as part of Canberra District Wine Week include a four sangiovese dinner at Four Winds Vineyard Cellar Door, and a ‘Taste of the region long lunch’ in Yass on Friday 7 April featuring local food and five vineyards.

As you travel around the region later in the year watch out for Sculpture in the Paddock. Staged in the beautiful surrounds of the National Trust property Cooma Cottage, in Yass, home of the famous Australian-born colonial explorer Hamilton Hume, Australia's newest sculpture expo, last year had extensive coverage through a range of media including exposure nationally via ABC 2 television. â€¨

YassArts have developed the project to include a scholarship program for young up and coming sculptors.
