Seriously Shiraz invites visitors to discover the region's award-winning Shiraz through tastings and winemaker masterclasses, alongside renowned local produce and unmissable live music.

After a two-year hiatus, it will be the perfect day out to support the Grampians' distinguished wineries and winemakers.

Mountainside Wines owner Jane Goninon said the event allowed people to explore the Grampians region, and it was the first of many wine tasting events in September.

"People can spend some time at the festival and have dinner in Ararat," she said.

Mrs Goninon said the event created a boost for the region's economy and it was "fantastic" to host a community event for people to enjoy after a two year hiatus.

"The event is in Ararat and the venue is fantastic. It is amazing we can put on an event for locals and just see people again," she said.

Hosted at the J Ward Museum, Ararat, it will showcase Shiraz and other Grampians wines from the region with wine tastings available from 12-4pm and glass or bottle purchases available from 4-5pm.

Tickets to Seriously Shiraz are $45 per person which includes entry, wine tastings, a tasting glass and live music.
