Mildura Writers Festival

Description
Held every July the Mildura Writers Festival presents three days of words, food and wine on the Murray River featuring Australian and international writers. The Festival brings together some of Australia's best writers in an intimate, winter program of workshops, lectures and discussion forums. Beginning in 1994 in Stefano de Pieri's cellar restaurant, this event has evolved to be acclaimed to be among the finest literary festivals in the country, not only because of its literary pleasures, but also because of the talent it attracts and its atmosphere of conviviality - building upon the provincial Victorian winter, with late night discussions around wood fires, showcasing the local and regional gourmet food and wine.
