Porteño Malbec Festival

Overview

Soft, plush and fruity, there's a reason everybody loves a good Malbec. The South American red wine pairs perfectly with just about everything, after all — and it even has its own day of celebration. It's no wonder that Porteño is getting in on the action.

The Surry Hills' venue's Malbec Festival is their first foray into celebrating the vino varietal, specifically those from Argentina; however with more than 40 different tipples on offer for $40, they clearly know what they're doing. Pairing up with Jed Wines, three things will be on offer: tasting an array of flavoursome plonk, munching on traditional Argentinian favourites from Porteño's kitchen and learning more about South American specialities.

It all takes place between 1pm and 4pm on September 24, proving quite the fun Saturday afternoon session.. The ticket price includes tastings, snacks and your own Riedel glass to take home afterwards — and if you're keen to take some Malbec with you too, bottles will be available to purchase.
