‘Old Vine Day’ has grown along with the old vine itself, “Modra Kavcina”, to become one of Australia’s biggest celebration days for the people of Slovenia and the Yarra Ranges.
On Sunday 23rd September 2001, Lillydale Estate hosted the planting of a rootling from the oldest know grape bearing vine in the world. The mother vine, which is over 400 years old, is located in Maribor, Slovenia and each year the city donates a graft from the Old Vine to a selected friendly city. Melbourne was chosen, and the vine was presented to the Shire of Yarra Ranges, who, in turn, invited Lillydale Estate to plant the vine. It is now thriving strongly under our pergola.
Traditionally held in late September, But is being held on the 6th April, 2008.
