Christmas in July 2026 at Lake Mountain

A festive winter weekend of snow play, Santa visits and cosy Christmas moments near Marysville

Celebrate the magic of Christmas in July at Lake Mountain on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 July 2026, with a winter weekend shaped by snow play, festive entertainment and seasonal treats.

Set against the alpine surrounds of Lake Mountain, the event brings a little Christmas spirit to the snow. Families can look forward to meeting Santa and Mrs Claus, wandering through festive decorations, enjoying magical photo moments and making the most of classic winter activities like tobogganing, snow play and building snowmen.

With hot chocolate, winter snacks and a cheerful mountain atmosphere, it is a memorable way to experience a white Christmas feeling without leaving Victoria. Pack warm layers, plan for alpine conditions and make a day of it in one of the region’s best-loved winter destinations.

Snow play and festive fun for families

Christmas in July is especially well suited to families looking for a seasonal day out during winter. Children can enjoy the fun of seeing Santa in the snow, while the wider event atmosphere gives the day a festive focus beyond the usual snow trip.

Alongside the Christmas moments, Lake Mountain’s winter setting offers plenty of space for snow play and outdoor fun. From tobogganing to festive family photos, the weekend is all about enjoying the colder months in a way that feels playful, easy and a little bit special.

Getting to Lake Mountain from Marysville

Lake Mountain is a short drive from Marysville, making Peppers Marysville a convenient base for guests planning to attend Christmas in July. The drive takes approximately 30 minutes, depending on weather and road conditions, with visitors encouraged to check access updates before heading up the mountain.

As with any alpine day trip, warm clothing, suitable footwear and weather-ready layers are worth planning ahead. If you are visiting with children, it is also worth allowing extra time for arrival, parking and getting snow gear sorted before the day begins.

Warm up back in Marysville

Hearty breakfasts, fireside dining and winter flavours at Andiamo

A day at Lake Mountain often starts early, so breakfast at Peppers Marysville is a comfortable way to fuel up before heading into the snow. Take your time over a full morning meal, then set off for Christmas in July with the mountain within easy reach.

Back at the hotel, Andiamo Restaurant & Bar brings a warmer finish to the day. With Italian-inspired dining, regional produce, local wines and the glow of the fireplace in cooler months, it offers the kind of relaxed winter setting that suits a day spent outdoors. Settle in for dinner, warm up properly and let the evening unfold at a gentler Marysville pace.

Seasonal Fruit Picking at Rayner’s Orchard

A guided, year-round fruit tasting experience in the Yarra Valley

Rayner’s Orchard in Woori Yallock offers a unique take on seasonal fruit picking, combining hands-on tasting with guided farm experiences in the heart of the Yarra Valley. Open year-round from 9:00am – 5:30pm, this family-run orchard is home to more than 450 varieties of fruit, making every visit a little different depending on the season.

Unlike traditional pick-your-own farms, Rayner’s Orchard is best known for its guided Fruit Tasting Adventure Tours. Visitors hop aboard a tractor and travel through the orchard with knowledgeable guides, tasting tree-ripened fruit straight from the branches, discovering rare and exotic varieties, cracking fresh macadamias and learning about how the orchard operates.

Alongside the tours, guests can visit the farm shop, stocked with house-made jams, chutneys, bottled fruit, dried fruit, juices and seasonal produce, all made onsite using fruit grown in the orchard. The experience is relaxed, family-friendly and designed to give visitors a deeper connection to the region’s produce.

What fruit can you pick and taste?

Fruit availability changes throughout the year, but seasonal highlights typically include:

Summer: Peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, berries and specialty stone fruit varieties such as pluots, apriums and peachcots.

Autumn: Apples, quinces, figs and plums, along with persimmons, feijoas, guavas and pomegranates.

Winter: Citrus fruits including oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, lemons and Australian limes, plus kiwi fruit and tamarillos.

Spring: A mix of citrus, berries and early-season produce as the orchard transitions toward summer.

Most fruit is tasted during guided tours, with limited u-pick opportunities available during select periods of the year. Fruit availability varies based on growing conditions and harvest timing.

Getting there from Peppers Marysville

Rayner’s Orchard is located approximately 50 minutes by car from Peppers Marysville in Woori Yallock, making it an easy and scenic day trip through the Yarra Valley.

Driving directions:

– Travel via the Maroondah Highway toward Healesville

The drive offers classic Yarra Valley scenery, passing vineyards, farmland and forested landscapes along the way.

Marysville Music Weekend 2026

A boutique regional music festival bringing live performances, local flavour and community spirit back to Marysville

Marysville Music Weekend returns from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026, bringing a full weekend of music, food, drinks and regional atmosphere to the township of Marysville.

Set across multiple venues and spaces around town, the festival showcases a diverse program of live music, spanning folk, roots, blues, soul, country, indie and contemporary Australian sounds. It is a weekend built around good people, great tunes and the easy charm of Marysville itself, with performances unfolding throughout the town rather than in one single festival site.

Relaunched in 2026, Marysville Music Weekend builds on the foundations created by original founder Peter Guest and the continued support of the Marysville and District Lions Club. What began as a small, community-driven event has grown into a much-loved regional festival, shaped by local volunteers, visiting artists and the people who return each year to be part of it.

A festival with a strong community heart

Marysville Music Weekend has always carried a deeper connection to place. Since its early years, the festival has helped bring people into town, support local businesses and celebrate the creativity, hospitality and resilience that define Marysville.

That community energy is part of what makes the weekend feel so distinctive. Visitors can move between intimate venues, discover new artists, enjoy food and drinks across town, and experience the natural beauty of Marysville while the festival brings a lively soundtrack to the streets and gathering spaces around them.

Staying close to the music

With performances taking place throughout the town, Peppers Marysville places guests close to the weekend’s festival activity. Staying in town makes it easier to move between venues, return to your room between sessions, and enjoy the festival without adding extra travel to the day.

The festival’s full 2026 artist lineup and venue program will be announced closer to the event.

Shortest Lunch 2026

A winter weekend of Yarra Valley wine tasting, local food and family-run cellar doors

Shortest Lunch returns on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 June 2026, bringing wine lovers into the Yarra Valley for two days of handcrafted wines, live music, good food and relaxed cellar door discovery across the region. Running from 11am to 5pm each day, it is one of the Yarra Valley’s best-loved winter wine events and a great reason to get out of town during the cooler months.

Set across 13 participating family-run wineries, Shortest Lunch invites guests to explore some of the valley’s hidden gems while enjoying a more informal and welcoming festival feel. It is the kind of event that suits couples, groups of friends and families alike, with a broad mix of food, music and wine experiences spread across the weekend. Many venues are also dog-friendly, which adds to the easy, inclusive feel of the event.

Wine, food and winter atmosphere

Food is a big part of the appeal, with each winery offering its own take on winter festival fare. Across the trail, guests can expect everything from homemade apple pies and cheese platters to classic Italian dishes and American-style barbecue, alongside wines by the glass or bottle and exclusive Shortest Lunch cellar door specials available only during the event weekend. With most venues also catering to children and a range of dietary needs, the event lends itself to a longer, more relaxed day in the valley rather than a quick tasting stop.

Participating wineries across the valley

Participating wineries for Shortest Lunch 2026 include Billanook Estate, FIN, Helen’s Hill, Six Acres, Soumah of Yarra Valley, Sutherland Estate and Yering Farm, with more wineries joining the trail across the weekend. Beyond the food and wine, the event also carries a strong community connection, with a percentage of proceeds supporting local groups and organisations. Since it began, Shortest Lunch has contributed more than $100,000 to local schools and community causes.

A winter wine event within reach of Marysville

For guests staying at Peppers Marysville, Shortest Lunch is an easy way to spend the day in the Yarra Valley before returning to a quieter base in Marysville. It works especially well for those wanting to pair a winter wine event with a more regional stay, rather than staying within the busiest part of the valley itself.

If you are planning to enjoy tastings across multiple wineries, it is worth organising a designated driver or planning transport ahead of time. Kids, non-drinkers and designated drivers also receive free entry, making the event an easy option for mixed groups.

2026 Snow Season: Lake Mountain Alpine Resort

Snow season near Marysville, with tobogganing, cross-country trails and one of Victoria’s best-known alpine day trips

Winter is one of the biggest drawcards of a stay in Marysville, and Lake Mountain Alpine Resort remains one of the region’s most popular snow season experiences. A short drive from Peppers Marysville, it gives guests an easy way to add snow play, alpine scenery and a full day on the mountain to their winter stay.

Known as Victoria’s premier snow play destination, Lake Mountain appeals to a broad mix of visitors. Some head up for the toboggan runs and the novelty of seeing snow for the first time, while others come for the network of more than 25 kilometres of marked cross-country ski trails, which range from shorter beginner-friendly loops through to more challenging terrain for guests with more snow experience.

That range is part of what makes it such a popular winter day trip from Marysville. It can suit families looking for a fun day in the snow, couples planning a winter escape, or guests wanting to build a broader snow season stay around fresh air, mountain views and time outdoors.

Snow Play, Skiing and Winter Day Trips from Marysville

For many visitors, the biggest draw is the chance to enjoy the snow in a way that feels easy to plan. The ticketed toboggan runs are a major part of the winter experience, and toboggan tickets are required for entry to those runs. Standard single tickets include the use of a compliant toboggan supplied at entry, while external toboggans are not permitted on the ticketed runs.

Guests looking for a more active alpine experience can also explore the cross-country ski and snowshoe trail network. Ski and snowshoe equipment should be hired off-mountain before arrival, with hire available in Marysville and Narbethong

2026 Season Dates and Opening Hours

For the 2026 snow season, Lake Mountain operates from 6 June to 6 September 2026, subject to conditions. During the main season, opening hours are as follows:

8am to 4pm on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Lake Mountain is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.

However, during the school holiday period from 27 June to 12 July 2026, it is scheduled to operate seven days a week.

As always with alpine travel, conditions can change, so it is worth checking the Lake Mountain website before heading up for the latest weather, snow coverage and trail status.

What to Know Before You Go

Lake Mountain offers day hire for snow boots, jackets, pants and kids’ snow suits, with all rentals due back by 3.30pm. Gloves, goggles, beanies and scarves are not available for hire, though they can be purchased from the retail shop if needed.

Before heading up, it is worth knowing that drinking water is not available on site, with water available to purchase from the food outlets. Lake Mountain is also cashless, so purchases need to be made online or by card or digital payment. As with any alpine destination, warm, weather-appropriate clothing is essential.

For guests staying in Marysville during snow season, Peppers Marysville offers an easy return at the end of the day, with the mountain close enough for day trips and the town itself a warmer place to settle in afterwards.

For latest conditions, access and current pricing, visit the Lake Mountain Alpine Resort website.

The Great Tarmac Rally 2026

Three legendary roads. Three days of pure alpine driving.

The Great Tarmac Rally returns in October 2026 with its most ambitious format yet. For the first time, this iconic Australian tarmac rally expands into a three-day event, transforming Victoria’s High Country into a showcase of endurance, precision and world-class driving.

Running from 23 to 25 October 2026, the rally brings together three of Victoria’s most renowned roads: Lake Mountain Road, Eildon–Jamieson Road and the legendary Reefton Spur, delivering more than 350 kilometres of closed-road competition across alpine and forested landscapes.

What to expect across the weekend

Friday | Lake Mountain Road
The rally launches from Marysville with a dramatic ascent up Lake Mountain Road. Wide sweepers tighten into technical alpine corners, with rapidly changing conditions adding to the challenge. Fog, sleet and sunshine can all appear within a single stage, setting the tone for the weekend ahead.

Saturday | Eildon–Jamieson Road
Saturday shifts the focus to stamina and precision. Across six stages and more than 110 competitive kilometres, drivers tackle one of Victoria’s most demanding stretches of tarmac, where consistency and concentration are critical.

Sunday | Reefton Spur
The final day belongs to the Reefton Spur. With a staggering 95 percent corner ratio across 37 kilometres, this legendary stage winds through alpine forest with sweeping views across the Upper Yarra Catchment. Technical, relentless and visually spectacular, it’s widely regarded as one of Australia’s great driving roads.

From its Marysville base to the raw beauty of the surrounding alpine region, the 2026 Great Tarmac Rally promises to be a landmark event on the Australian rally calendar.

Getting there from Peppers Marysville

Marysville serves as the rally’s base, making Peppers Marysville an ideal location for spectators, car clubs and participants attending the event. Many stages start or pass through the surrounding High Country, with easy access by car to key viewing points across the three-day program.

Guests are encouraged to check the official Great Tarmac Rally website closer to the event for stage timings, road closures and spectator access points.

Shedfest 2026 | Yarra Valley Wine Festival

A spring weekend of cool-climate wines, family-run wineries and Yarra Valley cellar door experiences

Shedfest returns this October, bringing wine lovers into the Yarra Valley for a weekend of tastings, food, live music and relaxed cellar door discovery across more than a dozen family-run wineries.

Now celebrating 23 years, Shedfest has become one of the region’s best-known wine weekends, giving visitors the chance to explore a wide mix of winery experiences under the one event ticket. Across the two days, participating venues open their doors for tastings, entertainment and special festival atmosphere, with each winery bringing its own style, food offering and sense of place.

The focus is firmly on cool-climate Yarra Valley wines, but Shedfest is designed to feel broader than a standard tasting trail. Alongside wine, guests can expect live music, good food and a mix of activities across the weekend, from lawn games and frozen cocktails to petting zoos and other family-friendly touches. With many venues also welcoming dogs, it is an event that lends itself to a more relaxed day out with friends, couples and groups making the most of spring in the valley.

What to expect across the weekend

The event runs from 11am to 5pm on both days, with a flat $35 entry ticket giving access to tastings at all participating wineries across one or both days. Earlybird tickets are also available with a 10% saving until 1 October.

Food is part of the appeal as much as the wine, with each winery offering its own menu of festival dishes priced under $25. Across the trail, that can mean anything from smoked meats, bao buns and gourmet pies to pizzas, cheese platters, hearty burgers and classic Italian fare. Most venues also cater for children and guests with dietary requirements, making the event accessible for a broad mix of visitors.

Throughout the weekend, guests can also purchase wines by the glass or bottle, with Shedfest cellar door specials available exclusively during the event.

A Yarra Valley wine weekend from Marysville

For guests staying at Peppers Marysville, Shedfest offers an easy way to spend the day in the Yarra Valley before returning to a quieter base in Marysville. It suits those wanting to pair a spring wine event with a more regional stay, rather than staying in the middle of the cellar door trail itself.

If you are planning to enjoy tastings across multiple wineries, it is worth organising a designated driver or transport ahead of time so the day can unfold more easily.

Marysville Marathon Festival 2026

A scenic trail-running weekend shaped by community spirit and the natural beauty of Marysville

The Marysville Marathon Festival returns on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026, bringing runners, walkers, volunteers and supporters together for one of the region’s most established community events. Set against the rivers, trails and forested surrounds of Marysville, the festival is known for combining a rewarding running experience with a genuine connection to place.

Across the weekend, the event is expected to again feature a range of distances including shorter runs, longer trail events and ultra-distance challenges, giving participants of different abilities a chance to be part of the festival. The Marysville Marathon courses take runners along scenic valley trails and forest tracks, with sections passing the Steavenson River and Steavenson Falls, and longer distances incorporate more challenging climbs through the surrounding landscape of the High Country.

The event also holds a deeper significance for the local community. First created in the years following the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, the Marysville Marathon Festival has played an ongoing role in supporting the town’s recovery and drawing visitors back to the region. That sense of purpose still shapes the weekend today, giving the festival a stronger local identity than many larger running events.

Whether you are taking part, cheering someone on, or planning a weekend in town around the festival atmosphere, it is an event that offers more than the run itself. It is also a chance to experience Marysville at its most energetic, with the natural beauty of the area forming part of the appeal from start to finish.

Getting to the Marathon Hub

The Marysville Marathon Festival hub is located near Trevor Harrow Oval; around a 5-minute walk from Peppers Marysville, making it easy to head across for race check-in, the start area and weekend event activity without worrying about parking. If you would rather drive, it is only 1 to 2 minutes by car, so getting there and back is simple across the weekend.

A wine-filled weekend of comedy, conversation and good times in the Yarra Valley

Comedy in the Vines returns from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October 2026, bringing its signature mix of stand-up, wine and weekend energy to the Yarra Valley. Set at CherryHill Orchards in Coldstream, the event is expected to once again pair a strong comedy program with food, wine and a lively festival atmosphere, all within one of the region’s best-known orchard settings.

While the full 2026 lineup is still to be announced, the event has previously featured a packed weekend program built around live comedy, music, winemaker tastings and interactive experiences. That broader format has helped make Comedy in the Vines more than a one-night show. It is the kind of event that suits a full weekend away, whether you are visiting with friends, planning a couples escape, or simply looking for a different way to experience the Yarra Valley in spring.

Held at CherryHill Orchards, the event also taps into the wider appeal of the region itself. Established in 1940, CherryHill is a long-standing family-run business with deep roots in the Yarra Valley, known for its orchard setting and seasonal connection to the region’s produce and visitor experiences. Its Coldstream location makes it an easy addition to a spring weekend that blends entertainment, wine and time out of the city.

Getting to CherryHill

CherryHill Orchards is located at 739 Maroondah Highway, Coldstream, in the Yarra Valley. From Peppers Marysville, the drive takes approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, making it easy to head across for the day and return to Marysville in the evening.

For guests travelling from Melbourne, Coldstream is one of the more accessible Yarra Valley destinations, sitting just beyond the eastern suburbs and within easy reach for a spring weekend event. If you are planning to enjoy the wine side of the program, it is worth organising transport ahead of time or planning your day with a designated driver.

Twilight Cherry Picking

An after-hours cherry picking experience in the Yarra Valley, with golden light, ripe fruit and summer evenings among the orchards

Cherry season is one of the sweetest times to visit the Yarra Valley, and Twilight Cherry Picking adds a special after-hours feel to the experience. Running on select dates during the season, this evening orchard event invites guests to pick cherries as the sun begins to set across the region.

Held across CherryHill’s Coldstream and Wandin East orchards, the experience usually runs from November to early January, with exact dates varying each season depending on fruit availability and conditions. Twilight sessions take place on selected dates throughout December, making it a memorable way to enjoy the lead-up to Christmas and pick fresh cherries at one of the most festive times of year.

Each session runs for two hours and includes an all-you-can-eat cherry picking experience in the orchard. Guests can also visit the farm gate store, where cherry-inspired beverages and seasonal treats add another layer to the visit before the evening winds down.

A summer orchard experience in the Yarra Valley

Twilight Cherry Picking is a simple but memorable way to experience the Yarra Valley in summer. It suits families, couples and friends looking for something relaxed, seasonal and a little different from the usual daytime orchard visit.

The event is popular each year, and tickets are limited once released. Guests planning to visit during cherry season are encouraged to book early, especially for twilight sessions and dates close to Christmas.

Getting there from Marysville

From Peppers Marysville, CherryHill’s Coldstream orchard is approximately one hour by car, while the Wandin East orchard is a little further into the Yarra Valley. Exact travel time will depend on which orchard is hosting your selected session, so it is worth checking your ticket details before setting off.

For guests staying in Marysville, Twilight Cherry Picking can be planned as part of a wider summer day out in the Yarra Valley, with time for scenic stops, wineries or a relaxed drive before arriving for the evening session.
