About this Event
Brown Brothers Spring Wine & Food Festival | Celebrating 40 Years
For 40 years, the Brown Brothers Spring Wine & Food Festival has welcomed wine lovers, food enthusiasts and friends to celebrate the arrival of spring in the heart of the King Valley. Proudly part of the King Valley’s La Dolce Vita Festival, this milestone year embraces the flavours, wines and vibrant spirit of the Mediterranean.
Spend the day tasting your way through three dedicated festival kitchens, where French, Italian and Spanish cuisines come to life with seasonal dishes created to discover, share and savour. Each kitchen will feature recommended Brown Brothers wine matches, inviting you to explore the perfect pairing as you make your way around the festival.
Settle in at the Spring Spritz Bar and discover our refreshing new seasonal spritz flavours, or take your wine experience a little further with a Patricia Tasting Experience, showcasing some of our most celebrated wines.
Inside Cellar Door, enjoy complimentary tastings of your favourite Brown Brothers wines, discover new releases and revisit the classics that have been part of celebrations for generations.
With live music, beautiful gardens, incredible food and award-winning wines, this year’s festival brings the spirit of La Dolce Vita – the good life – to Milawa as we raise a glass to 40 years of Spring Wine & Food Festival.
Gather your friends and family and join us for a milestone weekend celebrating great wine, Mediterranean flavours and four decades of bringing people together at Brown Brothers.
