Craft Market at Marnong Estate
The January Craft Market at Marnong Estate is on Sunday 24 January 2027, 10am to 3pm. More than 50 local makers set up across the estate, with live music from Rae-Emma on the main lawn, coffee from Café Vista and panoramic views in every direction.
Craft Markets Australia presents the market in collaboration with Marnong Estate, 35 minutes from the Melbourne CBD.
What to find at the January Craft Market
Every stall is run by a local maker. Expect handcrafted jewellery, ceramics, candles and slow fashion, plus eco-friendly homewares, artisan skincare, gourmet pantry goods, chocolates, pet treats and gifts. It’s an easy place to shop small and find something you won’t see anywhere else.
Melbourne Airport will also be on site with a brand activation for market-goers.
Live music with Rae-Emma
Rae-Emma plays live on the main lawn from 12pm to 5pm, so bring a picnic blanket, find a spot on the grass and settle in for the afternoon.
Food, coffee and wine
Café Vista opens in the morning with coffee and breakfast treats, and the Cannoli Bike returns later in the day with lamb spit rolls. Vista serves pizza al taglio and estate wine on the lawn.
Why the January Craft Market is worth the drive
Marnong Estate is a 1,200-acre working farm and vineyard in Mickleham, 35 minutes from the Melbourne CBD and 15 minutes from Melbourne Airport. The market spreads across the lawns at the top of the estate, so you can browse at your own pace, stop for a coffee, and take in the panoramic views between stalls. It feels like a day in the country without the long drive, and there is plenty of room to spread out.
