Tour de Vino at Bobbie Peels
Keep pace with the Tour de France on the big screen and via your glass, as this neighbourhood pub pours rare wines that reflect each region the peloton passes through.
Overview
The start of the Tour de France is just around the corner, with the peloton soon leaving behind Lille bound for the Champs-Élysées. Returning for the 2025 race, Bobbie Peels will be there every pedal of the way, pouring premium wines by the glass and serving classic French dishes as each stage is screened late into the night over the three-week event.
Held from Saturday, July 5–Sunday, July 27, the Tour de Vino sees the North Melbourne pub curate its wine selection depending on the French region that the peloton is passing through. Making for a dynamic spectator-meets-dining experience, noteworthy wines pair with late-night action and the charming countryside footage that cycling fans know and love.
With the Tour de France commencing in Lille, aka the beer capital of France, Bobbie Peels has teamed up with Bentspoke Brewing for the very first time, tapping four special brews to enjoy across the three weeks. Meanwhile, premium importer Enoteca Wines has worked closely with the pub to source stage-winning drops produced across several acclaimed regions.
To eat, guests can enjoy a rotating selection of French-inspired dishes, like French onion soup, coq au vin and crème brûlée. "Just like the athletes we see on the bikes, the winemakers we are featuring are true masters of their craft," says Bobbie Peels co-owner Phil Gijsbers. "It will be a pleasure to provide the vinous accompaniment to the world's most prestigious race."
