Vista Vibes – Live Music ft. Hopkins Duo

Hopkins Duo in November: live music on the main lawn at Marnong Estate, Sunday 22 November 2026, 11am to 4pm. Bring a rug, order a pizza and a glass of estate wine, and let the panoramic views do the rest.

Vista Vibes is free to attend. Come for the wine, stay for the story.

Hopkins Duo in November at Marnong Estate

Hopkins Duo are a husband-and-wife act bringing rich harmonies and feel-good energy to every set. Their repertoire spans timeless classics, much-loved favourites and modern hits, blending male and female vocals with acoustic sounds and easy rhythms.

The main lawn sits at the top of a 1,200-acre working farm and vineyard in Mickleham, with panoramic views in every direction. It’s 35 minutes from the Melbourne CBD and 15 minutes from Melbourne Airport, close enough for a spontaneous Sunday and far enough to feel like you’ve left the city behind.

Why Sundays at Marnong

Vista Vibes is the simplest way to spend a Sunday at Marnong Estate. There’s nothing to book and nothing to plan. Turn up with a rug, pick a patch of grass, and let the afternoon unfold with live music, good food and wide open sky.

Families spread out on the lawn, friends share a pizza and a bottle of estate wine, and couples stay on to watch the light change across the horizon. It’s relaxed, unhurried and easy to love, which is why so many people make it a regular part of their summer.

Seeing Hopkins Duo in November is a good excuse to explore the rest of the estate too. Marnong is home to three restaurants, a Cellar Door, a Farm Shop and accommodation, all within a short walk of the lawn.

Make a day of it: stay for Melbourne’s best sunset

Vista Vibes is the start of the afternoon, not the end of it. Settle in on the lawn with a pizza and a glass from Vista, wave to the camels grazing in the paddock below, then book dinner and stay on for what we call Melbourne’s best sunset. On Sunday 22 November 2026 the sun sets at about 8:16pm, and the panoramic view from the estate runs 31 kilometres west to the horizon.

Book dinner at La Vètta, Marnong’s hatted restaurant, or at Cucina 3064, or start the day with lunch at La Vètta and wander up to the lawn as the music starts. For the full story, read our guide to the best sunset near Melbourne.
