Vines & Venus: A Celestial Wine Tour

Join us at Daylesford Wine Tours during Australia's premier regional LGBTQIA+ pride event, the ChillOut Festival. Held annually over the Labour Day long weekend in March, this iconic festival in Daylesford is not just a celebration but a revelation of love, diversity, and unity. From its modest inception in 1997, ChillOut has blossomed into Australia's largest and most enduring queer country pride festival, drawing over 30,000 visitors each year.

​What better way to experience the festival than with a wine tour that's as unique and vibrant as you are?

Unleash your vibrant spirit and immerse yourself in the picturesque beauty of Daylesford's renowned wine region.

This ChillOut, step into orbit on Daylesford’s most radiant wine experience.

Vines & Venus is an out-of-this-world journey through the region’s finest cellar doors, hosted aboard the iconic Planet Love bus.

Inspired by Venus - goddess of love, beauty, and the vine - this exclusive tour is a curated pilgrimage through three premium cellar doors during the busiest weekend of the year. Hosted by our resident Drag Queen, you will experience guided tastings and high-vibe hosting, more elevated than your standard wine tour.

In addition to sipping on exceptional cool-climate wines, whilst hearing divine storytelling from the makers, you’ll have seamless transport across the region (a rare luxury during ChillOut), and on-board entertainment that keeps the festival spirit glowing without overpowering your experience. We’ve included a grazing platter and guaranteed reservations at sought-after venues, every detail is handled so all you need to do is sip, sparkle, and soak it in!

Vines & Venus is the ultimate ChillOut Saturday indulgence. We’ll have you returned to Daylesford radiant, and ready for the evening celebrations.
