There’s magic happening right now in the wine barrels throughout the Bendigo region.
Harvest is over, grapes have been crushed and fermented. But that’s just the beginning of the winemaking process. In cellars and barrel halls right now winemakers are observing the shared relationship between wine, oak and the atmosphere.
The barrel halls are usually guarded treasures but on the weekend of July 9 and 10 you get to visit barrel halls throughout the Bendigo region and indulge in wine barrel alchemy. You will meet the winemakers and uncover the mystery and romance of winemaking.
Simply ring the winery or wineries you would like to visit and book your barrel tasting session at 11am, 1pm or 3pm. There is no cost to experience this chance to taste wine straight from the source. Don't miss this unique opportunity to receive a sneak preview of wines that will find their way into bottles over the coming year.
If you fall in love with a certain drop, be sure to check with the winemaker about a pre-release purchase at a special price.
Participating wineries:Balgownie Estate (Saturday Only), Killiecrankie Wines, Mandurang Valley Winery, Sandhurst Ridge Winery, Bullock Creek Vineyard, BlackJack Vineyards, Connor Park Winery, and Sutton Grange Winery.
