Generosity with Gastronomy. What a Grape idea!

Buy a Food Upgrade Ticket to Strategem Grape Day Out, and help our Harcourt affected wineries.

Your pre-purchased Food Upgrade Ticket is your guarantee to enjoy 2 incredible restaurant dishes, AND an easy way to help give a little back to our wineries who were most affected by losses from the bushfires in Harcourt. 

We’ve added a free glass of wine to your Food Upgrade Ticket, ensuring a financial return back to the wineries as part of each ticket sale.

Food Upgrade Tickets are ONLY for pre-purchase, and not on sale on the day.  Now with a wine and food gastronomy experience, your ticket includes:

• Two pre-ordered dishes, choosing from local restaurants Le Foyer, The Dispensary and The Woodhouse.

• Festival entry, entertainment and all of your wine tastings.

• A free glass of wine matched to one of your dishes, and sourced from one of the impacted wineries.

• Separate entry gate, skip the general entry line and pick up your Food Upgrade lanyard.

• Option to add-on The Bubbles Club or a fun Wine Class experience

If you’re not keen on trying your luck on the day to secure one of these spectacular dishes before they sell out (and you’re keen on a bonus glass of wine that makes a difference), jump online, pick your favourite two dishes and secure yours now.
