The Wimmera Grain Co. Barley Banquet represents agriculture, lifestyles and communities of rural Australia. The banquet also showcases locally grown produce on its three course menu - lentils chickpeas, lamb, duck, malting barlely and wine.
This black tie event is set in the heart of the Wimmera's cropping region. Each year the committee seek a new barley paddock from a local farmers crop to create a desitination that surprises and and heightens excitment annually.
With great music and entertainment the event attracts a broad audience from Melbourne and regional Victoria.
The event is a great day with fantastic atmosphere and fun to had by all.
In 2009,Channel 7 Reporter Nick McCallum visited the Barley Banquet. This reel was broadcasted that Saturday evening and on Monday's "Sunrise" program.
