How to Book Tickets and Stay Updated on Bendigo Wine Region Events

Book tickets through the Bendigo Wine Region website (bendigowine.org.au), where the events program lists what's on and links to booking. The site is also where you check for updates, because new events are added to the program regularly. One caveat from the site itself: some events sell out — the 2026 Heritage and Hidden Spaces Wine Walk is already marked sold out — so it pays to check the program early and follow the region on social media for announcements.

Where to find events and tickets

The website is the central hub for the region's wine, food and music events. From the homepage you can reach:

• Events — the main listing of what's happening in the Bendigo wine region
• Book tickets — the entry point for reserving a place at an event
• View the program — the full schedule for multi-day events such as Bendigo Wine Week
• Wine trails and Cellar doors — for planning visits around the events you book

If you're coming from Melbourne, the region is about a 90-minute drive, so event tickets and travel can be planned together.

Bendigo Wine Week 2026

The flagship fixture is Bendigo Wine Week, Friday 9 – Sunday 18 October 2026 — 10 days of wine activities hosted by Bendigo Winegrowers and their partners. The program includes:

• Bespoke wine experiences
• Lunch and dinner events
• Masterclasses
• Launches
• Premium tasting sessions

The site describes it as having something for both the fun and the serious wine lover. Individual sessions within the week are ticketed, so check the program for what's still available.

Sold-out events and how to avoid missing out

The site carries an explicit warning that the 2026 Heritage and Hidden Spaces Wine Walk is sold out. That's a useful signal for how demand works in this region: popular, limited-capacity events can close well before the date.

To reduce the risk of missing something you want:

1. Check the program early rather than close to the event date.
2. Book as soon as tickets open for anything with a fixed capacity, such as walks, masterclasses and dinners.
3. Check back regularly — the site states that more events are being added to the program on an ongoing basis, so a single visit won't show everything.
4. Follow the region on social media for announcements, including new events and sell-out notices.

Cellar door visits are separate from event tickets

Cellar doors in the region are open to visitors, and the website publishes open times and locations. Two practical points from the site:

• Call ahead to book your wine tasting — don't assume you can walk in at any time.
• Cellar door visits are arranged with the winery directly, not through the events ticket flow.

So if your trip combines a ticketed event with winery visits, treat them as two separate bookings.

Quick reference

The short version: use the website's events program to find and book, book early for anything capacity-limited, and rely on social media plus repeat visits to the program to catch additions.
