Toast to the Coast to come out of the cellar in 2021

AFTER 12 months of resting in the cellar, Toast to the Coast will be back later this year.

Last month, Wine Geelong updated its website with a notice that Toast to the Coast “has been confirmed for November 2021”.

Exactly when and how the annual regional wine event will take place are still unclear, with “dates and details to be announced”.

Toast to the Coast was cancelled in 2020, one of many events to be rescheduled or put off entirely over the past 12 months as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.

Typically held each year over the Melbourne Cup weekend, the two-day festival – one of the most anticipated events on the local calendar – showcases the very best in cool-climate wines and gourmet food from around the Moorabool Valley, Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula.

When last held in 2019, Toast to the Coast rolled out a new format, with the Saturday inviting people to tour wineries and cellar doors, while the Sunday saw 19 wineries offer 60 wines to try at Geelong venue The Pier.
