Overview

You're invited to get down and dirty when people-powered urban winery Noisy Ritual pops up in Docklands for this year's Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. Hitting Victoria Harbour from March 20 to 30, the Pop-Up Fermentation Bar is the latest play in Noisy Ritual's mission to demystify the world of winemaking.

In addition to a menu of tasting flights, wines available by the glass or bottle and Italian snacks from nearby Saluministi, the bar will feature real, working winery equipment. It's being brought over from Noisy Ritual's Brunswick headquarters to allow guests to experience the fermentation process close-up and first-hand.

As well as sampling the goods at the bar, there'll be plenty of opportunity to get involved in making some of your own. Four Demystifying Winemaking workshops ($78) — at midday and 2pm on Saturday, March 23 and Saturday, 30 — will offer a hands-on exploration of winemaking, from grape-stomping right through to tasting.

The Noisy Ritual Pop-Up Fermentation Bar is open 4–9pm Wednesday and Saturday, and midday–10pm Thursday and Friday.
