Fireside Festival 2026

Event

With winter well and truly settling in, it's time to start stoking the fires for this year's Fireside Festival.

The 2026 Fireside Festival is a celebration of Canberra's winter season, aimed at delighting wine lovers through a diverse array of captivating fireside experiences.

With a variety of events designed to ignite the senses, such as truffle dinners, mulled wine, Chef dinners, food and wine pairing, mini wine festivals, bon-fires and much more!

Picture this, a chilly Canberra day, the air fresh and crisp, sunshine kissing your face, the sounds of live music drifting through the vineyard, a glass of an exceptionally delicious local red in your hand, something oh so tasty, slow-cooked and warming on your plate, and the glow of a fire nearby. Yes please!

That's exactly what Fireside Festival is all about.

The Canberra District Wine Industry Association (CDWIA) encourages locals and visitors to rug up, leave the comfort of their homes and venture out to experience the warmth, hospitality, beauty and incredible wines & produce that our region has to offer.
