VIP Wine Masterclasses
200 Years of Museum Wines
A Master Class of rare
and amazing wines
2pm | VIP room
For over 50 years Mount Avoca has been growing grapes in the Victorian Pyrenees. Enjoy a selection of some of the best wines from Australia’s leading organic producer. From the owners private cellars, you will learn about the excitement of opening an old bottle and discovering what awaits within. Every bottle is different, and the flavours are a journey that is impossible to predict.
*Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to taste Mount Avoca’s Museum Wines from the winemaker’s private cellar — a collection with a combined age of 200 years, poured exclusively for VIP Masterclass attendees!
Join Matthew Barry as he takes you on this journey with a sense of fun. His unpretentious manner is a refreshing change from the stuffy tradition that sometimes accompanies “old wines”.
Always educational and fun, this is a chance to try some new and many quite old bottles at Wine and Cheese Fest – their combined age well in excess of 200 years.
Cheeses from some of our producers (TBA soon) will be available for pairing with each of the wines presented.
