The radios are finally switched off, the last bits of festival gear are packed away and the GGE team has officially flopped onto the couch with a cuppa. ☕️😮💨
What a weekend.
More than 7,500 people travelled to Halls Gap across three huge days of wine, food, music, fire pits and mountain air, and we’re still trying to process it all properly. 😅
Behind the scenes, a small but incredibly hardworking team spent months building GGE 2026 from the ground up, alongside an amazing crew of volunteers, suppliers, exhibitors, partners and local businesses who help bring the festival to life each year.
To everyone who made the trip to the Grampians, danced in the rain, stomped grapes and supported regional producers across the weekend, thank you. We genuinely couldn’t do it without you 🍇
