Events@Yarrh
We have a range of events at Yarrh throughout the year, and enjoy offering you our own culinary creations! We love exploring new cuisines, and bring back a few old favourites.
Harvest Hamper Trail - Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 March 2020
Part of Canberra Wine Week
Join us for FESTIVE FOOD all weekend, featuring Greek Spit Roast Lamb with Chickpea Aioli, Salad and Pita. Vegetarian/GF options available. $20, including a glass of wine. Enjoy on our lawn overlooking our vineyard and the beautiful Yass River Valley. We’ll be in the winery if it’s raining. 11:30 – 4pm, Saturday and Sunday. Email bookings for groups of 6 or more - info@yarrhwines.com.au.
Bring the kids for SCARECROW making, all weekend. Kids big and little have surprised themselves with their creativity, and we have plenty of birds to scare! All materials and guidance provided. $10 per scarecrow, and you can take it home! No bookings required.
Finally, join us on Saturday evening for JAZZ@YARRH. An exceptional Quartet from the ANU School of Music featuring the powerful, husky tones of Jess High, will join us for an evening of mixed Jazz, from Aretha Franklin to Thelonious Monk.
Jess High found her niche singing jazz, blues and soul while studying at the ANU School of Music. With a powerful, husky tone akin to that of Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse, Jess weaves her own meaning into the tunes that inspire her. Her career highlights include the 2020 Australian of the Year celebrations as part of the ANU Alumni Choir, performing with some of the best Jazz musicians in Canberra. Jess is a truly unique and exceptional performer.
Jess will be accompanied by local up and coming musicians Alex Wanjura on drums, Olivia Faletoese on bass, and Jarrod Hunter on guitar.
There’s a cover charge of $20 per person. Gourmet share plates ($30, 2-3 people, veg and GF options available) and the full range of Yarrh Wines available throughout the evening. No BYO, please. From 5pm-8pm, with the Quartet playing from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. Tickets available from Eventbrite. Be quick, limited tickets!
Come and enjoy an autumn evening of great music, great wines and our beautiful views (we’ll head into the winery if the weather doesn’t co-operate).
2019 Winter Solstice Bonfire - Bookings closed
