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 6th and Thursday 7th June from 4.30pm to 8.30pm.

The Wine Showcase series offers visitors the chance to rub shoulders with the winemakers, enjoy the latest offerings from their cellar door and help judge the ‘People’s Choice’ for best wines.

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 local wineries heading to Melbourne include Black Estate, Mount Alexander Winery, Newbridge Wines, Rivergate Wines, Sandhurst Ridge Winery and Sutton Grange Winery.
