Easter in Great Western

Why Everyone’s Flocking to Great Western This Easter (Even Gout Gout Can’t Outrun It)

1. We need you (seriously)

After a brutal bushfire season, the Grampians tourism industry is hanging on like a roo on a wet trampoline. Your visit isn’t just a good time, it’s a lifeline. Every booking, bottle, and bed night helps keep this region alive, kicking, and pouring.

 

2. Gout Gout is coming. You should too.

The Stawell Gift is hosting the sprinting phenomenon who runs faster than Usain Bolt. Yep… Gout Gout. And while you probably won’t beat him to the finish line, you can beat the Easter rush to Great Western.

 

3. Rodeo meets local footy = chaos in the best way

The Great Western Rodeo (or is it Rodeo…) is where bulls fly, boots stomp, and beers flow, all in support of the local footy club. It’s country Victoria’s answer to Coachella (but with more dust and better stories).

 

4. Seppelt’s 3km of underground cellars = wine nerd heaven

Seppelt Great Western is home to the largest underground cellaring system in the Southern Hemisphere. Tours are selling out fast and for good reason. We’re talking historic tunnels, winemaking magic, and more photo ops than your phone has storage. Don’t just drink the wine — explore it.

 

5. It’s not too hot, not too cold—just Goldilocks weather

Autumn in Great Western is the sweet spot. Sunny days made for wandering, picnic-ready lawns, and cool nights that all but demand one more glass of Shiraz.

 

6. Wine deals that’ll make Dan Murphy blush

This isn’t your average Easter sale. Seppelt and our neighbouring cellar doors are putting on absolute belters — perfect for stocking up, sipping slow, or showing off to your wine snob mates back home.

 

7. Food so good you’ll wish you had two stomachs

From ticketed underground dining events to laid-back long lunches, Great Western’s food scene hits all the right notes. Think local, seasonal, seriously satisfying, all served with a side of country charm.

 

8. It’s closer than you think

Just a 2.5-hour drive from Melbourne, Great Western is your long weekend getaway without the long-haul chaos. And once you’re here? Easy-going days, top-tier wines, and no city stress in sight.

Final Word?

Have we convinced you yet? Good. Because Great Western isn’t just having a moment this Easter — it’s throwing a full-blown, wine-fuelled long weekend you’ll actually want to remember.

Book the tour. Nab the tickets. Pack the stretchy pants. We’ll see you there.
