SEVEN wineries of the King Valley are welcoming the return of the King Valley’s Weekend Fit For a King food and wine festival this coming King’s Birthday weekend.

Celebrate in style with friends and family as you travel the length of the King Valley feasting on mouthwatering dishes, tasting new release wines and dancing the afternoon away.

“Our events are known far and wide for the food we serve, not just our wines,” Sophie Darling, from Darling Estate, said.

“From fine dining to Nonna’s cannoli and all in between, everyone’s cravings are met.”

"It is also a great opportunity to try wines as you travel the valley to get a better understanding of the number of varieties we are producing and how different they taste from one end of the valley to the other.”

Visitors to the festival are able to buy their tickets online via the Wines of the King Valley website, or buy them at the gate.

“The ticket includes your wine glass and entry to each of the seven participating wineries,” president of the Wines of the King Valley, Dean Cleave-Smith, said.

“This includes Brown Brothers, John Gehrig Wines, La Cantina, Darling Estate, Dal Zotto, Pizzini and Politini.”

“This year we see the events at some of the wineries stretch the whole weekend including Friday evening at Dal Zotto.

“And for those keen to spend time on the dancefloor, each of the venues have you covered.”

The welcome return of the regional event sees festival tickets providing entry into all the participating wineries activities from Friday, June 7 to Sunday, June 9.

The winemaking families of the King Valley welcome you to experience the Italian wine styles they are famed for.

Travel between the participating wineries that showcase the beauty and diversity of the King Valley.

Live music, DJs, children's activities and local produce will round out the experience.

Tickets are $40 and can be purchased online https://www.winesofthekingvalley.com.au or at the gate on event days at all seven participating venues.
