Who doesn’t love sipping on a glass of delicious red wine?

Well, this July you can do just that at the National Wine Centre of Australia… with The Drop In: Reds Edition – The Rise of Alternative Varieties!

We’re talking Barbera, Tempranillo, Aglianico, Mencia, Blaufrankisch… and so many more! Come in and try them all, and discover a new favourite you might never have heard of.

Entry to the event includes unlimited wine tastings from all participating producers and a complimentary Spiegelau glass to savour your favourite pours. Our bar also boasts a selection of beverages available for purchase, as well as some tasty food options. The event will conclude at 8:30pm, in time to head into the city for dinner or further kick-ons!

Producer's to be announce - stay tuned for more details on those.
