Game of Rhones 2017
Help yourself to some Dornish red at this one-day Rhone Valley wine festival.
Overview
In the words of Tyrion Lannister, it's not easy being drunk all the time. Everyone would do it if it were easy. That may be true, but you can certainly give it a go, when Game of Rhones returns for another year.
An epic wine tasting event inspired by the grapes of France's Rhone Valley and the works of George R. R. Martin, this year's Game of Rhones will visit Fortitude Valley's Lightspace on Sunday, June 11. The event will welcome more than 100 wines from winemakers such as Shaw + Smith, Yarra Yering, Ministry of Clouds, Henschke, Yalumba (and many more). There'll also be food from Gerard's Bistro as well as cheese from Yarra Valley Dairy to ensure you don't go hungry.
In between goblets, ticketholders will get the chance to chat with sommeliers at the Rhone Bar, where you can purchase full glasses of wine. If you're really keen, you can purchase a Royal Pass, which will get you access to the event an hour earlier, a food voucher and some one-on-one time with a sommelier to help you work out which wines you like best.
It should also go without saying that dressing up as your favourite GoT character is highly encouraged. Zombie John Snow, anyone?
