Passing Clouds Tasting and Dinner at the Hotel Trentham
Get to know the wine and winemaker behind one of Victoria's trailblazing estates, alongside a special food pairing.
Overview
Passing Clouds is a pioneering name in Victorian wine, with co-founders Graeme Leith and Sue Mackinnon launching the family-owned operation back in 1974. Named after a wistful hope for rain, the Bendigo vineyard's specialties are shiraz and cabernet sauvignon.
Now in the skilled hands of son Cameron and his partner Marion, the winery's focus has shifted to Musk, on the outskirts of Daylesford, with a particular passion for pinot noir and chardonnay. For those keen to taste this collection of drops, the Hotel Trentham invites diners and drinkers to a special one-night-only event.
Presented from 5.30–7.30pm on Thursday, July 3, Passing Clouds winemaker Tim Castle will be in the house showcasing the winery's acclaimed selection of vino, while talking guests through its journey from grape to glass.
Meanwhile, a special food pairing will match Passing Clouds' celebrated wines with several delicious dishes. With every drop available by the glass, plus special prices for bottles and cases, now is the ideal opportunity to sample one of Victoria's trailblazing wineries.
