The Fruitful Pursuit’s famous freewheeling wine extravaganza is finally coming to Canberra. While representing regions from across the continent, Wine Playground brings together a selection of 19 of Australia’s most thoughtful ‘natural’ and ‘minimal intervention’ winemakers for your tasting indulgence.
The event will be held at Highroad in Dickson on Saturday 18th of May. Tickets are $65 and includes entry, a take-home ‘TFP x Plumm’ glass (RRP $25) and over 70 wines to taste poured by the winemakers themselves. You’ll also have access to an afternoon of informal ‘Open Forum’ sessions to discuss Australian wine’s most relevant topics.
Yes, it’s on election day but the Wine Playground team think it’s rather fitting to host their inaugural event in the Australian capital on the day of the Australian Federal Election. The tasting begins at 2pm to ensure you can vote early, then enjoy Wine Playground.
All wines, many of which are ‘small-batch’ or extremely limited in supply, will be made available to enjoy by the bottle at the event, or to takeaway.
