Melbourne’s original riverside marketplace of boutique Victorian wineries.


Why? Because it’s your chance to tour and taste from Victoria’s
wine regions without leaving the city.

Gather your friends, head to the Southgate Promenade and enjoy a divine afternoon of alfresco wine tasting as over 60 of Victoria’s best boutique wineries bring their cellar doors to you.
Test your palate on known and familiar varietals, uncover new favourites from undiscovered corners of the State and stock your cellar to continue the lively festivities at home.

How to improve on vinous perfection? Pick up a tasting plate of artisan Victorian nibbles or cheeses from the adjoining Providores’ Market, find a sunny spot and delight in the bounty of our regions against the iconic Melbourne city skyline.

Enjoy delicious tastes at the Southgate restaurant food stalls:
Kouzina, La Camera Pure South, Tutto Bene, Walter's Wine Bar

Refreshments from James Boags and Sanpellegrino water also available.

 

This event was made by the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival Team.
