harveast @ eastland, ringwood

It is back for it's second year and Eastland will be buzzing as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. Harveast (beautifully named if you ask us) is all about celebrating the tastes of our beautiful neighbourhood and showcasing produce from our beloved Yarra Valley and its surrounds. On Sunday March 25, Town Square will be foodie heaven with free samples from the amazing eateries that Eastland has to offer, as well as a pop up Produce Markets from the best. Keep your eyes pealed for Main stage entertainment, masterclasses and demonstrations. There will be plenty of exclusive deals and samples to devour, it seriously an event not to be missed!

What Mamma is most looking forward to, however, is the family friendly entertainment, especially from our favourite Justine Clarke! Mrs Watermelon - as we affectionately call her in our house - will be taking the stage at 11am (hopefully outside this year!). Once you have danced up a storm head inside to explore the Little Garden Patch and test out their green thumb! The stage is set for a magical and not to mention delicious day!

Mamma's special mention: Remember Mamma showed you behind the gates to The Backyard? Well, the gates will be open! The team from The Cellar Door will be set up with a backyard barbie and live music from 6pm. You will need to enter via the Tasting Laneway were you might just have to visit the stands of over 20 wineries and distilleries along the way. I mean, if you HAVE to!
