Hills Heist 2019

Overview

South Australia is coming for you in a big way, Sydney. A whopping 30 Adelaide Hills wineries are headed to Surry Hills for a four-and-a-half hour session of wine and food. Hills Heist will take over GoGo Bar and Chii Town on Tuesday, May 7 from 5–9.30pm.

Expect a massive 60 wines on offer, giving punters a seriously wide ranging taste of the region's best drops. The wine region spans 70 kilometres and is known for its diversity, from sparkling to shiraz to pinot noir, along with gruner veltliner — an Austrian variety that the Adelaide Hills have become known for.

Among the standout winemakers in attendance is Charlotte Hardy of Charlotte Dalton Wines, which won last year's Hot 100 Wines for its Eliza Pinot Noir. She's accompanied by Fox Gordon's Rachel Atkins and Shaw + Smith's David Le Mire MW, to name just a couple.

After an hour-and-a-half of tasting at GoGo Bar, a shared Chin Chin menu will go down in Chii Town, featuring the eatery's well-known dishes such as kingfish sashimi, Thai fried chicken, chargrilled swordfish and roast duck — all with matched vino.

Tickets are priced at $120, which includes plenty of wine and food.
