Into the Vines
A midweek wine festival celebrating innovative, small-batch, female-led producers is coming to Freshwater Brewing Co.
Overview
Freshwater Brewing Co is swapping hops for grapes as it hosts an inviting wine festival focusing on small-batch vineyards and women in the wine industry. Popping up in Sydney's north on Wednesday, March 27, Into the Vines will bring 25 different drops of vino from five boundary-pushing female winemakers to the breezy brewery for a midweek journey through some of the exciting things happening in the booze world.
The lineup of producers includes Empire of Dirt, a lo-fi winery based out of Moorabool Valley in Victoria, and ACT native Intrepedus Wines whose tiny one-acre winery is located in Yass and produces a cracking Nero D'aVola. Rounding out the program is biodynamic specialist Krinklewood, and a pair of Hunter Valley vineyards: M&J Becker Wines and Comyns & Co.
The festivities will kick off at 6pm, with two one-hour sessions to choose from — 6–7pm and 7–8pm. Either way, you'll get to wander around and chat with the winemakers, tasting their wares, and enjoying a grazing platter while you're at it — all for just $15. If you want to grab dinner, there's also a combo deal, which includes the hour-long tasting session, plus a pint and a burger at the brewery for $40.
Thanks to a partnership with Humanitix, a portion of the ticket sales will also be donated to local not-for-profit Girls Boardrider Fraternity.
The approachable wine festival is great for any Sydneysiders north of the bridge who would usually have to travel into the inner-city to find such an eclectic mix of new-age winemakers all in the one spot.
