This August, Margaret River is coming to Brisbane.
Alongside wineries from across Western Australia, Margaret River’s acclaimed producers will travel east for EXHILARATING Wines from Western Australia, inviting Queensland wine lovers to connect.
Held at Howard Smith Wharves on Tuesday 18 August, the showcase brings together more than 35 wineries and over 150 wines from Margaret River, Great Southern, Swan Valley, Pemberton, Blackwood Valley and Geographe for one unforgettable evening.
Whether you’ve visited Margaret River before or have always wanted to experience the region, this is a rare opportunity to meet the people behind the labels, taste exceptional wines side by side, and discover everything from internationally renowned icons to small family-owned producers whose wines are rarely seen outside Western Australia.
The line up from Margaret River features Borrello Vineyards, Cape Mentelle, Cherubino Wines, Credaro Family Estate, Corymbia Wine, Cullen Wines, Deep Woods Estate, Domaine Naturaliste, Flametree Wines, Forester Estate, Fraser Gallop Estate, Hay Shed Hill Wines, Howard Park Wines, Idée Fixe, Juniper Estate, Leeuwin Estate, Lenton Brae Winery, McHenry Hohnen, Moss Wood, Passel Estate, Rosabrook, Stones + Thunder, Swings & Roundabouts, Vasse Felix and Wayfinder.
Many of the wineries making the journey are family-owned businesses, and several owners and winemakers will be there in person to pour their wines and share the stories behind each vintage.
As Wines of Western Australia CEO Larry Jorgensen explains:
“Queensland wine lovers are increasingly curious and adventurous, making Brisbane the perfect home for the stories, energy, innovation and individuality that have become hallmarks of EXHILARATING Wines from Western Australia. We are thrilled to make this cross-country pilgrimage as a collective and reconnect with our Queensland wine friends.”
Guests can enjoy unlimited tastings from more than 35 wineries, grazing throughout the evening and a RIEDEL Overture Red Wine glass to take home. For those wanting to delve even deeper, the limited Golden Hour VIP Experience includes an exclusive masterclass hosted by internationally respected wine writer Erin Larkin before the showcase begins.
We’d love you to join us in Brisbane and experience the best of Margaret River and Western Australian wine – all in one place, for one special evening.
