Three remarkable days of music in Victoria’s Southern Grampians.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Victoria’s Southern Grampians, the Dunkeld Festival of Music is our flagship bespoke fesival. Across three extraordinary days, we invite you to immerse yourself in world-class music-making, presented in partnership with the acclaimed Royal Mail Hotel.
In 2026, we share the stage with three incredible guest artists—pianist Andrea Lam, and two lifetime members of the Goldner String Quartet, violinist Dimity Hall and cellist Julian Smiles. Beyond the concert hall, savour the Royal Mail’s award-winning hospitality, all framed by one of Australia’s most iconic landscapes.
