There's something for everyone!

Join us in Myrtleford for a weekend of feasting, fine wines and lots of other wonderful entertainment! Here's a summary of what you can look forward to, starting with what's in store for lovers of good food and wine:

Tastes of Italy at Gapsted Wines (May 25 to May 27).  Italian food with wines matched to each course.
Food & Wine Festa (May 26).  Sample wines from the Alpine Valleys Wine region and regional food from around Italy plus live “Nonni in Cucina” cooking demonstrations.

As ever, La Fiera introduces other aspects of Italian culture. This year, there will be a performance of a play called ‘Emma Celebrazione’, a concert of Italian musical gems, a re-enactment of the Living Chess Match, soccer matches, a bocce competition, and an exhibit depicting the lives of Italian prisoners of war held in a camp near Myrtleford during World War 2. The Italian Connection Trophy Rally will be in town on the Saturday afternoon and you can watch the cars dodge and weave around obstacles during a motorkhana.
