Pour It Forward: A Celebration of Giving Back
This year introduces the Pour It Forward campaign, a thoughtful initiative inspired by the Grampians’ spirit of generosity and community. Designed to support local winemakers while rewarding early ticket buyers, the campaign offers a unique benefit:
Guests who purchase tickets before 31 December 2024 will receive a wine voucher worth 15% of their ticket value (excluding booking fees). This voucher, redeemable for bottle purchases at the festival, is your chance to enjoy even more of the region’s outstanding wines while supporting the local producers who make it all possible.
To put this into perspective, if you secure your three-day tasting ticket before the new year, your voucher could be redeemed for a bottle of Seppelt’s famed Salinger or the original Sparkling Shiraz. Now that’s what we’d call a perfect pairing—true “girl math”!
