This is a wine tour without the snobbery.

Forget long lectures on whole berry fermentation. Instead, join us for three hours of rollicking yarns, brilliant bars and of course, bloody good wines.

At each bar, allow our expert bar partners to select a wine based on what they are currently pouring (and your tastes, of course). Each guest receives one glass of wine per bar.

In between bar stops, be taken on a journey of wine across the aeons: from its beginnings in eastern Asia to its arrival in Australia and boom, bust, then boom again in Victoria.
