The Red Series
A wine tasting festival dedicated to Western Victoria's best reds.
Overview
With another woolly winter in full swing, red wine season is officially in play. And if you're hunting some new drops to put on rotation, you'll find them in force at Ballarat's regional wine celebration The Red Series.
Taking over the Ballarat Mining Exchange on Saturday, July 30, the tasting festival is set to pour the best red drops from across Western Victoria's Grampians and Pyrenees regions. The reds will be flowing across two sessions (11.30am–2.30pm & 3.30–6.30pm) as 22 wineries show off their goods, including names like Mount Langi Ghiran, Blue Pyrenees Estate and Fallen Giants.

While your palate trips between wines ranging from the full-bodied, to the mild and fruity, you'll also get to dig into grazing boxes from Vegas & Rose, a menu of gourmet wintry pies and live, local tunes.
Tickets are $45 online ($50 at the door), which includes all your tastings and a souvenir tasting glass, plus a take-home bag with space for six bottles, ready to fill with your favourite picks of the day.
