Wine Meats Cheese

Overview

Drinking vino, snacking on dairy foods and devouring gourmet salumi is most people's idea of a great afternoon — and, come Saturday, July 27 it's Gerard's Bar's as well. Between midday and 2pm, the Fortitude Valley venue is hosting a wine-tasting arvo with bites to go with it, all for $45.

At Wine Meats Cheese, you'll enjoy all of the above, with more than a dozen tipples from Bacchus, Naked Brunch, Mezzanine, Deja Vu and more in the spotlight. The focus is on organic and biodynamic wines, so prepare your palate accordingly.

It's the latest event in what the James Street bar has previously called a "wine adventure", but however they badge it, it's an ace excuse to discover new drops while feasting on artisan cheese and charcuterie. The usual advice applies: arrive with a thirst for top wine and a taste for the perfect accompaniments.

Wine Meats Cheese is also part of this year's James Street Food and Wine Trail, if you're still hankering for a bite and a beverage afterwards.
