Bendigo Wines go to Federation Square

01 September 2009

Sixteen Bendigo region wineries will be heading to Melbourne tomorrow for the Federation Square Victorian Wine Regions Showcase; with Bendigo this month’s feature region.

The wineries will be offering tastings to a large crowd of savvy, wine enthusiasts in a stunning setting within the Federation Square complex.  The tasting sessions will be held over two evenings, Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd September from 4.30pm to 8.30pm.

Wine lovers have the opportunity to explore one of Victoria's different wine regions every month. The showcase series allows a Melbourne audience to taste leading wines, meet the winemakers, learn about the wines, and judge the "People's Choice" for the Best Wines - all from the very heart of Melbourne at Federation Square.

Bendigo wineries have been thrilled by the success of this event in the past and are encouraged each time by the large, discerning wine crowds that attend.

The Bendigo Wine Region is acclaimed for its rich, ripe red wines.  Crowds can warm up with tastings of Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot and for white wine enthusiasts there will be fine Chardonnay, Riesling, Viognier and more on offer. 

Tasting tickets are $25 per person and the event in Melbourne includes tastings, a selection of fine food and smooth live jazz.
