Pinot-lovers will rejoice with two fabulous events coming up showcasing this much-loved varietal. This month Pinot Celebration Australia, a two-day event, brings together wine industry leaders and next generation thinkers to celebrate pinot noir from Australia’s diverse pinot regions on the Mornington Peninsula.
Day one on February 10 sees a series of themed sessions held at RACV Cape Schanck resort. Enjoy stories and conversations that will leave you feeling uplifted about the future of pinot noir in Australia. February 11’s program begins at Red Hill Reserve and continues at various locations, depending on the workshop or forums you select. Transport is supplied to and from each location on the day. Tickets for the two days cost $1500 a person.
And then in March the Flinders foreshore comes alive on Labour Day weekend with Mornington Peninsula Wine’s Peninsula Piers & Pinots. Held annually, this much-anticipated event continues to grow in popularity since the first one almost 20 years ago.
