Wine Flight
A wine flight is a selection of several small pours of different wines, served together. This is self-paced, giving you the chance to taste new wines in your own time, and is a great option to pair with one of our build-your-own gourmet picnics. Wine flights are $15 and include five wines. We offer a range of individually themed flights, each showcasing a curated selection, with a description of each wine provided for you.
Structured Tasting
During a tasting session, you'll be able to choose up to six wines from our extensive range to taste. One of our knowledgeable team members will take you through the tasting, offering you more information about the wines and the flavour notes you will be smelling and tasting. This is a great option if you want a more in-depth experience.
