Perricoota Pop and Pour Festival has been put together by local events specialist Jacqui Wegener and her EM Events company. 

A 6 hour trail that takes ticket holders down through lush resorts, wineries and waterfront cafes, Pop and Pour is all about local food, wine, music and friends. 

It's a cruisey event that allows participants to discover the river, the Paddlesteamers and the hidden secret of the Perricoota winery district over 6 sunny hours in November.

Last year, tickets sold out so they've doubled the quota this year. Highlights to expect will be Damian Cowell (ex TISM)'s Disco Machine feat Tony Martin (Nova FM) at Perricoota Vines Retreat. The band are doing 2 key performances over the afternoon set under the palms around the tropical pool and island on the resort. Ticket holders are welcome to book a villa for a 2 night getaway so they can enjoy the resorts pools, tennis and shaded barbecue area by the lake for a recovery day.

Not far from 3 Black Sheep, Morrisons and The Woolshed, Perricoota Vines will host the disco machine and crowds can enjoy Gusto Grazing plates, Cornelia Creek wine tasting, Elephant Roc Street Foods calamari van, beer, wine, cider and summer cocktails, a coffee van by Coffee Queue and a sweets bar as well as lots of fruity summer activities on the lawn.

Just across the road from Heygarth House Airbnb Echuca, is a brand new Endota Spa salon.

Created in 2000 by Melanie Gleeson an inspired entrepreneur in touch with the ecosystem both externally and within our skin, endota's first day spa was on the glorious Mornington Peninsula, inspired by the clean, salty air and clean energy of the surrounding sea.

The Mornington Peninsula is endota's guide  guiding both aesthetically and in a lifestyle sense. "The expansive light, the relaxing colours and the power of nature to heal is embodied in our spas, our products and our organic treatments."

A secret community converge upon the endota salon experience where they can leave behind the daily grind and  exhale from the very second you stroll into their salons. The signature scent and calming herbal tea envelopes your senses as you step into the experience and the staff are always attentive, informative, suggestive with skin and wellness solutions and they're always zen.

MANTRA: "We aim to live consciously and give back wherever possible. We are currently collaborating with an inspiring group of indigenous women located in Fitzroy Crossing, NT, whose artwork appears on our Colour packaging and who receive a percentage of our sales in return."

Very proudly, endota are now the largest day spa network in Australia with over 100 spas across the country! All about gender parity, the company was 100% founded by women and has an over 95% female team.
