Game of Rhones
Drop everything. This Game of Thrones wine-tasting is an all-out trial by combat and you, the humble commoner, are entrusted to pick the victor.
Overview
Drop everything. Nothing is as important as this Game of Thrones-themed wine tasting.
Are you still recovering from The Red Viper versus The Mountain? Are you feeling a little nostalgic for the days when Tyrion could lay around boozing on vino? Perhaps you should be drinking your sorrows away with some like-minded Thrones fanatics. Confused? We’ll lay it down for you.
Game of Rhones is a wine-tasting event touring Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne that's now in its second year. Featuring over 40 producers and 100 wines, this glorious day at St Kilda Town Hall will be an all-out trial by combat to determine the best offering of the grape varieties from the Rhone Valley in France — Shiraz, Grenache, and Viognier among others. There will be wines, ciders and beers from every corner of Kings Landing/Australia all of which have been confirmed to contain no poison and you, the humble commoner, will be entrusted to pick the victor.
Of course, it wouldn't be Thrones-worthy if there weren't a few extra kickers. To accompany your wine, there will be a selection of feast-able treats available such as suckling pig and venison pie — if you’re a vego or a vegan you might have to BYO tofu — and there's also the option to come in costume. As far as we can tell, it appears that patrons have either gone all out, or rocked up in jeans. Obviously we suggest the former, because quite frankly it would be amazing to see a hoard of drunken Daenarys' walking the streets of Melbourne screaming "WHERE ARE MY DRAGONNNNNS??!"
Your Game of Rhones ticket price includes a special wine chalice and all tastings from 1pm-6pm, however food prices are not included. For more information see the Game of Rhones website.
