With more than 120 wines available for tasting from Rutherglen and the King Valley, this event is a wine tasting tour de force, complemented by cheese and other produce from some of North East Victoria’s best artisinal producers.
Speak with the wine makers and passionate foodies, and participate in entertaining wine theatre sessions presented by Master Sommelier Rocco Esposito of Vue de Monde fame. Sample Prosecco, the sparkling white wine from the King Valley’s Italian winemaking families that has taken Australia by storm, or savoury Sangiovese, a medium bodied red from the famous Tuscan grape that is a perfect match with hearty Italian cuisine. Saluté!
From Rutherglen, taste from an inspiring collection of wines from one of Australia’s most historic wine regions, steeped in history with character and personality second to none. Sample Marsanne, Roussanne, Shiraz and Durif, the region’s signature red wine experience, and the incomparable, world famous Muscats and Topaques.
