Taste the Flavours of Pokolbin at End2End Festival
EVENT UPDATE FROM END2ENDFESTIVAL* Due to the ongoing restrictions and the Greater Sydney lockdown, we are regrettably, holding the 2021 End2End Festival over to September 17th 2022. All tickets purchased for the 2020 and 2021 festival will now be valid for the 2022 event. We are a small group of businesses in the Pokolbin region trying to raise awareness of Pokolbin and what we have to offer. This postponement has a major effect on our businesses so we would ask you to help support us by not requesting a refund but holding onto your tickets and coming to visit the Festival in September 2022.
There's nothing quite like a food, wine and music festival – especially when it's in the Hunter Valley!
While the Hunter is home to a diverse calendar of quality events all year round that include anything from local markets to music festivals and concerts featuring Australian and international artists, topping the list of wine-soaked festivals this year is the annual End2End Festival held on September 18th.
Incorporating food, wine, music and more, this much-anticipated event showcases Pokolbin's diverse wine and food culture with a full day of activities spread across four venues and includes world-class wines, gourmet food, live music, celebrity chefs, masterclasses, boutique beer, and so much more. This is a festival that delights all the senses again – and again!
It is no secret the Hunter Valley is known for its spectacular wines, and that is exactly what End2End will be serving up. With over 20 wineries involved in the event – there will certainly be flavours to please all!
Taste delicious wines from Ivanhoe Wines, Kelman Vineyard, Pokolbin Estate, Ernest Hill Wines, Peterson's Wines, Saddlers Creek Wines, Tamburlaine Organic Wines, Ben Ean, Drayton's Family Wines, Lisa McGuigan Wines, Peterson House, Lambloch Estate, Pepper Tree Wines, Glen Oak Wines, Parched Crow Wines, Tulloch Wines, Savannah Estate, Hanging Tree Wines, Irongate Estate or Tinklers Wines. Indulge in deep reds or crisp whites, Semillon or Shiraz; the only tough choice will be what to try first!
There will even be the opportunity to try the latest Spring releases as well as masterclasses from the experts to learn about the amazing wines from the Hunter Valley. Or if wine isn't your thing, there will be boutique beers from The Parched Brewing Co, Ironbark Hill Brewery and cider from Pokolbin Cider House.
The End2End Festival will take place over four different venues - Ben Ean, Blaxland's Inn, Cypress Lakes and Drayton's Family Wines with entertainment and different wines available and exclusive to each venue.
Hop on and off the End2End shuttle bus at any of the four venues throughout the day, relax with a glass of wine, indulge in fantastic food, or take to the dancefloor with world-class tribute bands Mamamia ABBA Tribute, Damnation the AC/DC show, The Blues Brothers Rebooted and the Australian Fleetwood Mac Experience as well as other great local support acts.
No wine festival is complete without gourmet food, and food lovers will not be disappointed. Think Semillon and seafood or beef and big reds; whichever wine you decide to try, there will be the perfect food accompaniment. The gourmet foods on offer will be supplied by Baume Restaurant, Pokolbin Angus Beef Company, Hunter Belle Cheese, Oak and Vine at Cypress Lakes, Blaxland Inn's onsite restaurant and many more.
The End2End Festival is a once-a-year opportunity to indulge your senses, taste world-class wines, indulge in delectable cuisine and dance the day away to some of the best live music in the Hunter Valley.
