There's something special about live music drifting through a winery at dusk. Every Friday (with the occasional Saturday thrown in), Aranya Acres comes alive with the sounds of traditional jazz, gypsy jazz and blues — the kind of music that pairs perfectly with a glass of Sapling Yard wine and good company. Whether you're settling in for dinner or just popping by for cocktails, our live sets run from 7–9pm, setting the tone for a relaxed evening under the stars. Expect smooth, soulful melodies, a bit of swing, and the warm, improvisational energy that only live jazz can bring. It's the perfect excuse to gather friends, unwind after a long week, and enjoy an evening surrounded by native-inspired dishes, craft cocktails, and a soundtrack that never disappoints.

A Bloody Shiraz Feast An evening in the spirit of Four Pillars — at Aranya Acres One gin. One colour. One unforgettable evening. Join us at Aranya Acres for a four-course degustation built around Four Pillars' cult-favourite Bloody Shiraz Gin — the famous Yarra Valley pour steeped in shiraz grapes until it turns a deep, magical purple. Each course arrives with its own Bloody Shiraz cocktail, from a bright blood-orange spritz to open the night, through a spiced plum sour and a flamed-orange negroni, to a velvet nightcap to close. On the plate, the menu moves from garden to farm — tea-smoked duck with blood orange, twice-cooked pork belly with spiced plum, and slow-braised beef cheek in Bloody Shiraz jus — with a full vegetarian journey at every course, finishing on a dark chocolate & Bloody Shiraz crémeux (or spiced poached pear, if that's more your evening). $185 per person — four courses, four cocktails, veg & non-veg options throughout. Seats are limited. Bookings essential. [26th August · 6:30pm · www.aranyaacres.com.au]
