#VICWF Update - We’ve been working hard to find a solution that respects the unknowns of COVID-19. We’re excited to announce that we will be moving the Festival forward in a new format. We’re pleased to offer value-added options for existing ticket holders and we’re confident the new design will keep everyone safe. Over the upcoming weeks, we will be releasing a new schedule of events that offer both virtual and in-person events. Due to capacity and contact restrictions, we h...ave replaced the tasting format of the Festival with seminar (in-person and virtual) and dinner programs that offer fun and engaging options for everyone. The Festival will present in a 4-day seminar and dinner program in a safe and controlled environment. These programs will run on new dates: November 1st 8th, 2020. Existing ticket holders will have from September 18th 25th to register for one of the following options prior to tickets going back on sale: Option One Register for any two seminars. Option Two Register for one wine dinner. Option Three Register for a take-home seminar. Working with our private liquor store, we will supply you with full bottles of wine; you are then invited to watch & follow along with the seminar of your choice, either live or any time after the event. Please note this option will have an added cost, based on the specific seminar. Option Four Transfer ticket. You may request your ticket be transferred to our 2021 date. *Super Pass holders will be able to register for one wine dinner and two seminars. *Seminar ticket holders will be able to select one seminar. Don't have a ticket yet but want to still take part? After September 25th we will be putting tickets for in-person events back on sale if we have capacity left. Our virtual seminars will be available for purchase to everyone once we release the seminars. We are committed to press ahead and creatively adapt the Victoria International Wine Festival 2020 Festival for you. We’re proud to offer existing ticket holders options with higher values than the original ticket price. We thank our sponsors and stakeholders like you for your support of the 2020 Festival.
