Drink Victorian Tasting 2026

Join Victoria’s most exciting drink producers as they showcase the state’s best beers, wines, ciders, spirits and non-alcs under one roof at the Medallion Club at Marvel Stadium on Monday 27 July from 12 noon to 5pm.

After hugely successful events in 2025 and 2024, it's time again to gather your team again for a great day out discovering what's new and what’s trending in Victorian drinks and connecting with key players in hospitality and drinks production.

This year, more than 200 producers are taking part – we’re talking great wines from across the whole spectrum of Victorian winemaking, from the most established and the most traditional producers to the newest and least conventional, and everything in between, including the likes of Cobaw Ridge, Mac Forbes, Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown, Curly Flat, Tahbilk and Little Frances. You'll see the same breadth and diversity in brews, with top-drawer beers and ciders from legends new and old like Sailors Grave, Gurney's, and Sobremesa, and in spirits and liqueurs from distillers such as Kinglake, Luna Hueca tequila, Koji Spirits, Reed and Co, Beechworth Bitters and Saison Aperitifs, as well as non-alcs from T.I.N.A, Mateo and Good Brew, to name just a handful.

Drop in for half an hour or settle in for half a day to taste, network, learn and snack, with culinary delights from Lee Ho Fook.

This is a trade-only tasting event, exclusive to the hospitality industry. It's free to attend, and registrations are essential.

The Drink Victorian program is proudly supported by the Victorian Government through Agriculture Victoria and Global Victoria. It's an initiative of the Victorian Drinks Alliance, a collaboration between Food + Drink Victoria (the not-for-profit behind Melbourne Food & Wine Festival), Cider Australia, Independent Brewers Association, Spirits Victoria and Wine Victoria.

Whether you’re new to the trade, or here to buy stock for a group of 50 pubs, or you’re a WSET Jedi doing your MS and MW back-to-back, you’ll find plenty at the tasting to sharpen up your venue’s drinks offering and enrich your own understanding of who’s making what right now, right here in Victoria. We’ll see you there.
