Catalina Wine Mixer

Overview

Ever wanted to channel Step Brothers and unleash some party vibes at a Catalina Wine Mixer? Well, thanks to the crew at Welcome To Thornbury, your time to shine is now. The northside food truck park is turning art into reality and teaming up with South Australia's Howard Vineyard to host a real-life rendition of the fictional shindig.

On Saturday, September 14, you're invited to don your finest yachting get-up and launch into spring with a day of live tunes, wine quaffing and general Will Ferrell-inspired frivolity.

Howard Vineyard will be offering both bottomless wine packages and wine tastings galore, as well as some fun educational stuff. You'll have the chance to chat with winemakers, load up on handy wine knowledge and even stomp some actual grapes, with an all-expenses paid-trip to the winery also up for grabs.

Live tunes from funky nine-piece act Sex On Toast are sure to get you in the groove, as is the DJ soundtrack of back-to-back 'yacht rock' classics.

Unfortunately, there's no guarantee of any helicopters on the day (a la Step Brothers), though there will be a stack of helicopter experiences given away as prizes. And of course, you'll find complimentary captains hats to round out your outfit.

A range of ticket packages will available from 10am on Wednesday, August 14.
