WINTER is here, and the Aireys Inlet community is inviting everyone to celebrate the season with its annual festival from this weekend.<\/p>\n

Love Winter in Aireys, which runs from June 11-19, will attract locals and visitors alike and features a fabulous array of food, drink, art and wellness events designed to nurture your heart and soul.<\/p>\n

The event is in its 11th year and will officially launch this Saturday, June 11 with the annual Soup in the Garden event at the Aireys Inlet Community Garden.<\/p>\n

“After two uncertain years, we are thrilled to run our winter festival again and showcase what Aireys Inlet has to offer,” event organiser Anne Dansick said.<\/p>\n

Love Aireys in Winter will feature art exhibitions, gin celebrations, markets, wellness events and many more opportunities to connect with Aireys’ many friendly locals.<\/p>\n

Coinciding with World Gin Day (June 11), craft gin aficionados will be able to taste the region’s finest gin while listening to live music performances in Aireys’ boutique tasting room.<\/p>\n

For those wishing to indulge their body and soul, Love Winter in Aireys will run a drop-in wellness retreat, offering free massages, ayurveda cooking and massage workshops, yoga and pilates classes as well as an introduction to meditation and strength training.<\/p>\n

A special tour has also been scheduled to allow festival attendees make their way up and around the world-famous Aireys lighthouse to enjoy spectacular bird’s-eye views at sunrise from the balcony.<\/p>\n

For foodies, Great Ocean Road Gin will host a special dinner, Tastes of Home, in their new restaurant The Gin Kitchen.<\/p>\n

Tastes of Home will be a five-course bespoke dinner featuring favourite traditional dishes from Vietnam, led by head chef Andre, made to nurture the heart.<\/p>\n

Each course will be matched to one of Great Ocean Road Gin’s signature gins, made to nurture the soul.<\/p>\n

For anyone seeking to nurture their creativity, head to Eagles Nest Gallery for their special life drawing event.<\/p>\n

Participants will be guided by artist Pamela Reid through a series of drawing exercises while a model poses. Complimentary wine on arrival, tutor, model and drawing materials will be provided.<\/p>\n

Ms Dansick is inviting everyone from far and wide to visit Aireys this winter.<\/p>\n

“Winter on the Surf Coast is a magical time of the year, best spent rugged up outside and cosy, creative and well-nourished inside,” she said.<\/p>\n

Love Winter in Aireys is presented annually by the Aireys Inlet Tourism and Traders Association, with support from Surf Coast Events.<\/p>\n
