TICKETS &
TASTINGS
-
You can, but we recommend buying ahead in case we sell out—especially if you want a Tasting Ticket, as we have a limited number of glasses each year. Pre-purchasing also helps us deliver the best possible event, so if you can, please buy ahead! Get your ticket here.
-
FREE for under 18s! We also have free kids’ activities and entertainment all day to keep your little adventurers happy and occupied.
-
Yes. Free tastings are only available to those who have purchased a Tasting ticket and can present their tasting glass to vendors.
Pssst… if you’re enjoying free tastings, we encourage you to buy from our wonderfu vendors as well!
-
On the day! We’ll scan your ticket when you enter and give you your glass at the gate.
-
You can show us your ticket on your phone or bring a printout. Both options are a-ok with us.
-
Tastes of the Goulburn isn’t a country market, it’s a festival of food, wine and so much more.
You’ll find live music on the main stage, cooking demonstrations at the Producer’s Kitchen and entertainment right along the street.
You’ll have the opportunity to chat with (and buy from!) the region’s best winemakers, distillers, artists and producers all in one spot (no driving to get around to everyone). And they bring their latest and greatest offerings (post-harvest is a wonderful time to try something new).
Plus, with a Tasting Ticket, you can try more than 100 wines and plenty more beer, gin and cider at no extra cost.
We promise it’s worth the entry price—and we put the proceeds to good use!
Tastes is a not-for-profit event run by volunteers. We’re not in this to make money. We’re in this to build the reputation of the Goulburn Valley, enhance tourism, and support our region’s businesses to thrive.
-
We don’t offer refunds or exchanges for ticket purchases.
Tastes will go ahead, rain, hail or shine.
If the event is cancelled, rescheduled or significantly relocated for any reason, we will offer a refund, partial refund or exchange to the extent required by Australian Consumer Law.

YOUR VISIT

Most vendors will take card payments, but if you need cash there are a couple of ATMs on Station St. You can also withdraw cash at the local Coles and Woolworths.
