Urban Winery Project X Three Blue Ducks Pop-Up

Overview

Urban Winery Project is back in Sydney for its seventh season, again taking over Three Blue Ducks Rosebery for two nights on Wednesday, February 21 and Thursday, February 22. Patrons can expect another year of top-notch food, Vinteloper wine and grape stomping shenanigans.

Founded by the team behind Adelaide Hills wine label Vinteloper, the event originated in Adelaide back in 2012 and also popped-up in Melbourne in 2016 and 2015. This is UWP's second year running at Three Blue Ducks, with last year's guests stomping enough shiraz to fill a whopping 3456 bottles, making it the largest batch yet.

While famed chefs Andy Allen and Mark LaBrooy prepare a feast over an open grill, guests will get their hands — and feet — dirty, too. The event's signature immersive experience begins with some good old stomping of the grapes and is accompanied by a winemaking and appreciation seminar, along with a Q&A. Diners will also be the first to sample and potentially purchase the wines made at last year's event, including a red blend and a white blend.

Once the messy part is done, guests gather around share tables for Allen's four-course degustation, matched with Vinteloper wines including a shiraz, tempranillo, gewürztraminer and riesling. There's no denying it's a pricey night, but, for the caliber of food, wine and the chance to stomp your heart out, it will at least be a paycheck well spent.

Urban Winery Project X Three Blue Ducks Rosebery Pop-Up is happening on February 21 and 22 at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Tickets are $140pp for four courses with wines and an interactive winemaking experience. Bookings via UWP's website.
