The comedy line-up is huge, as you would expect. Some highlights include Jen Brister (her only Australian show), Joel Creasey, Mel Buttle, Melanie Bracewell, Rove, Lloyd Langford, Dave Thornton, Claire Hooper, Nick Cody, Luke Heggie, Gillian Cosgriff, Lou Wall, Brett Blake, Alex Ward, and more expected to be announced.

But this isn’t just a comedy festival. MKR judge Colin Fassnidge will be dropping by to do some cooking, and Adam Roberts will be firing up the BBQ. Friday night flights will include three wine tastings for anyone stopping by. Ethan Cavanagh and Sweeney Preston are bringing their smash hit show In Pour Taste, while Nick Capper and Brett Blake’s cult hit show Brew Dudes will round out Saturday night with some organised chaos.

Around the grounds, you can indulge in a 20-minute pick-me-up massage session at the Mitchelton Day Spa, get your nails done by the incredible Nails By Kirsten, or, if you’re feeling creative, head over to That Paper Joint for a collage workshop using a wine bottle as your canvas. Look out for our resident roaming friends Cocoloco, who will be causing trouble wherever they turn.

For those looking to escape their problems (and hangovers), meet Merrick at the main stage at 11am on Sunday. He will lead a 5km “mini-marathon” through the vines, stopping every kilometre for a wine tasting. We’ll finish the weekend in style with Australian rock icon Tim Rogers playing a solo set on the main stage. We couldn’t think of a better way to end.
