What's pouring in Sydney?

A quick tasting after work? A dinner worth booking ahead? Find something to suit your mood, your budget and how far down the wine rabbit hole you'd like to go.

First wine event? Here's the idea
Walk-around tasting
Wander between tables, try different wines and chat to the people pouring. Follow your curiosity, ask questions and take your time. You don't need to finish every pour. Spitting is completely normal.
Drop-in pour
A few bottles open at the shop counter. Pop in, taste something new and have a chat. A nice little detour from your usual arvo.
Guided masterclass
Take a seat with a line-up of wines and a winemaker or educator to guide you. Taste, compare and ask about that one wine you can't quite put your finger on.
Winemaker dinner
A meal with wines matched to the courses, often with the winemaker there to tell you about them. Dinner with a little more to talk about.
Wine-matched meal
A set lunch or dinner with a wine poured to go with each course. No winemaker in the room, just a well-matched glass.
Pop-up bar
A temporary bar or venue takeover with something different pouring. Check the line-up and see what takes your fancy.
Producer spotlight
Get to know one winery through a selection of its wines. You might compare vineyards or vintages, the years the grapes were harvested.
Comparative tasting
Wines tasted side by side, so the differences are easier to spot. Think one grape from several places, or the same wine made in different years.
Show medal winners
Wines awarded medals at a wine show. The judges have their favourites. Here's your chance to find yours.
