If you’re planning a visit to the Yarra Valley this August, Wine & Wildlife at Healesville Sanctuary is an event worth adding to your itinerary.
Returning for one weekend only on 29–30 August 2026, Wine & Wildlife brings together some of the Yarra Valley’s best wineries, local food producers and live entertainment, all within the unique setting of Healesville Sanctuary.
Wine, Wildlife and Local Produce
Spend the day wandering through the Sanctuary while enjoying wine tastings from Yarra Valley wineries, local craft beverages and a selection of food from pop-up vendors. Between tastings, explore Australia’s native wildlife, enjoy live acoustic music and experience one of the region’s most unique winter events.
Even better, every ticket helps support Healesville Sanctuary’s Australian Wildlife Health Centre, which rescues and rehabilitates thousands of injured native animals each year.
Make a Weekend of It
Rather than rushing home after the event, why not turn your visit into a relaxing Yarra Valley escape?
Located just a short drive from Healesville Sanctuary, Helen & Joey Estate offers everything you need to continue your weekend.
