Bloom — A Celebration of Spring Drinking
The Builders Arms is hosting a tasting party dedicated to its current fave Victorian drops, with snacks by Sydney's Trisha Greentree.
Overview
With spring now sprung, it's time to get acquainted with some fresh talent. So, clear some room on your wine rack and make space on your bar cart, because the Builders Arms Hotel is coming at you with a one-day celebration of Victorian winemakers, growers and producers that's brimming with new things for you to sip, try and buy.
On Sunday, October 16, Bloom will see some of the pub's current favourites gathered together for a special showcase of local tipples in the bistro and public bar. You'll spend the afternoon meeting the makers as you sample their wares — including Lucy Kendall from Gippsland's Allevare Wines, Edge Brewing's Michelle Vanspall, Dervilla McGowan from Anther Distillery, Little Frances Wines' Erin Pooley, the family duo behind T.I.N.A. (This Is Not Alcohol) and more.
Nab a $25 ticket and you'll score five tasting tokens to spend on sips while listening to tunes by Georgia Bird and DJ Sarah. More tokens are available from the bar and there'll be a curation of Bloom pours starring on the day's drinks list, too.
Further tasty things will be coming from the kitchen, thanks to a guest appearance from chef Trisha Greentree of Sydney's Fratelli Paradiso and 10 William Street. She'll be whipping up a menu of bar snacks and share plates for the downstairs crowd, as well as hosting a four-course lunch feast ($150 with matched wines) in the upstairs function space.
