Tri-Bendigo Wine Wander
03 September 2008
Welcome Spring with an afternoon of fine food, live
music, and a chat to winemakers over their latest vintage wines. This Saturday 6th September three of
Bendigo’s popular wineries, Balgownie Estate, Sandhurst Ridge Winery and Connor
Park Winery present the Tri-Bendigo Wine Wander from 11am – 5pm.
At
Balgownie Estate enjoy an antipasto platter and music by the Vikki Doig Jazz
Duo. This winery is one of Australia’s
great small vineyards famed for its long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon and
Shiraz.
At
Sandhurst Ridge, a gourmet pizza and music by Andy Garlick, an acoustic folk
soloist will delight. This picturesque vineyard
setting is coupled with award-winning, hand-crafted wines that are full of
character.
At
Connor Park savour a beef bourguignon pie and music by Chris de Araugo &
Ray Shaw, acoustic roots music. Situated
on the Bullock Creek, the original vineyard was planted in the late 1960s.
Start your Wine Wander at any of the three
wineries from 11am and meander your way to the others throughout the afternoon. Bookings
are essential with tickets $40 per person.

As a special offer
for the event, if patrons select and purchase four bottles of wine at each
winery, they’ll receive two Reidel Shiraz Wine glasses (valued at $80) for

This event is the perfect way to spend an
early Spring day, with locally produced food, wine and live music. These three wineries are all located in the Bendigo
