I spent an enjoyable January talking to people. It is one of the fun things about Jan that no one is in a hurry and I can get some good insights. Also, bank and financial service people want to help. They will spend a lot of time on the phone trying to find a way […]

tasting and events

Every time you taste a wine it is an event. I would like to think it can be educational too. I hate stuffy wine events, so whether it’s a casual tasting or a Masterclass over dinner, I promise a fun, interactive and informative occasion… with great wine. Take a peak below or view all our events here.

Dinner: Burgundy & Yarra Valley @ Hotel Gitan. 30th May 7pm Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are two of the greatest grapes on Earth. And two places where they excel is Burgundy & Yarra Valley. There is a range of amazing wine we could be looking at during this dinner. But I’ve chosen producers that I think offer something special. These guys not only love what they do, but they make wines that are pleasurable to drink. There is no esoteric higher purpose. This is wine made for the sheer joy of drinking it.Book your seats here

Your Own Private or Corporate Event @ Any venue you’re comfortable with. Wine is more than just a thing you drink. You share it with people you care about, you tell stories about the wines and wine places you’ve been. A well run wine tasting can be an experience of its own. The love of great wine is a concept that brings people together. Sharing it bonds people. This is an opportunity for you to share a special experience with family, friends, clients, colleagues or anyone you want to share some great wine with.Lets talk about how to make your event special.
