On 5 and 6 September, Dunkeld, one of Australia's most acclaimed gourmet destinations, will throw open its doors for the ‘Discover Dunkeld' weekend, giving visitors the chance to discover the many hidden facets of the town's culture, history, stunning landscapes and personalities.
Included among the program will be tours of the Mount Sturgeon Homestead; a tour and yoga session with Frank Jesse at the picturesque Griffins Hill Retreat and Yoga Studio; a behind-the-scenes tour of the Royal Mail wine cellar by the hotel's wine director, Lok Thornton (pictured) and live jazz in the Royal Mail Hotel courtyard.
There will be many offerings for nature lovers including touring the Dunkeld Arboretum, hiking the Piccaninny Trail in Grampians National Park with a local ranger, searching for wildflowers at the Aquila Eco Lodges bushland property and a guided tour of the many local open gardens.
