Movie in the Vineyard
“Bottle Shock”
May 24 | 7-9pm
50th Anniversary of the Judgement of Paris!
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the historic Judgment of Paris wine tasting, where wines from the New World de-throned iconic French wines. It was such a monumental event that they made a movie about it!
We are going to screen Bottle Shock in the vineyard. This is a must-see movie for all wine lovers. We’ll watch in our new barrel cellar next door if the weather is bad.
Admission is free, and we’ll have wines and movie snacks available for purchase.
Timing will be dependent on lighting conditions, so stay tuned for updates.

Wine Blending Seminar
August 21 | 4-7pm
Limited Seats Remaining
Have you got what it takes to make the perfect blend?
Join Owner | Winemaker Rob Hammersley as he takes you on a journey to blend your own version of a new red wine in our Collusion Series, made from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre.
We’ll start with a deconstructed tasting of barrel samples of each of the varietals, along with a discussion on the characteristics of each grape, the vineyards we sourced them from, and how they age in different types of barrels. Learn both the art and science of blending, and how to balance flavour, aroma and texture. Then you’ll be put to work…doing a series of trial blends to find your perfect version of the wine. Then we’ll fill up a whole bottle, cork it, wax it, sign it, and have it ready for you to pick up the next day.
Enjoy a welcome glass of our Ancestral Sparkling Cinsault rosé. After working up an appetite making the perfect blend, join us on the patio for canapés and charcuterie. Wine will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle.
Only 14 seats available for this intimate and interactive session. Last year’s blending seminars both sold out quickly, so don’t delay!
Tickets: $125 per person
