For one weekend each year, many winemakers of the Bendigo region offer a wine tasting experience that takes you well beyond what is usually expected.
This weekend (July 8 and 9) visit one or more of these local wineries where winemakers will provide you with wines to taste directly from the barrel.
These individual tastings will be personally hosted by the winemaker. This way, you will get to experience the development of wine over two years, and understand how wine matures at each stage of its development.
Different styles of barrels and the use of oak contribute to the different flavour components tasted in a finished glass of wine.
Take advantage of this opportunity to see behind the scenes of a winery, and understand more of this long-standing traditional style of wine making. Nine wineries across the Bendigo region will be participating.
Tickets are $10 per winery, and there are three tasting tour times each day. Visit one, or as many as you like.
