People in Melbourne’s west who want to take control of their wellbeing are being invited to immerse themselves in tranquillity at St Anne’s Winery.

The Myrniong winery has teamed up with Urban Markets to run the Health and Harmony Expo on Sunday, August 18.

The event will run from 10am to 4pm at 64 Garrards Lane.

If the expo seems familiar, that’s because this is not the first time St Anne’s has collaborated with Urban Markets to run a wellness event.

Jake Currey, who does a “bit of everything” at St Anne’s, said it was exciting to be “making a comeback after a few years of hiatus.”

Mr Currey said while they were hoping to attract the same crowd, there would be plenty of different things on offer this time around.

“We are trying to make it more of an expo rather than a market where you wander around, there are a few little fun activities for people … to make it more interactive rather than just selling products,’’ he said.

“We’re trying to get a bit of everything – the usual candle and wellness related stalls as well as some tarot card readings.”

Urban Markets owner Felicity Ashman said yoga, meditation, exercise, and natural foods were all on the table for the expo.

“We are looking to promote local businesses that support a balanced lifestyle… and any type of health and wellness,” said Ms Ashman.

Ms Ashman said the combination of outdoor and indoor settings at the winery made it a prime spot for the expo.

“It is particularly exciting to be back working with St Anne’s – it’s such a lovely atmosphere out there and a perfect location to have something like this.”
