Thank you, Lachlan :) - What an awesome evening! Lachlan was our host, which we were over the moon about - he was fantastic. He knew his stuff and made the whole experience fun and accessible, especially considering we knew nothing about wine upon arrival. He facilitated the banter between me and my work colleague like a pro and made us both feel really comfortable with a perfect balance of professionalism and humour. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the evening. Lovely venue (we went to the one on Edward Street), brilliant staff, super unpretentious vibes... and I went home with a personised bottle of red! Thank you so much for this experience!

Learn, have fun and drink some wine at the same time - a sure winner - Friendly and personal attention from the winemaker. Down to earth service...No wine snobbery. Experiment and learn at the same time. Take home a bottle of your most successful blend. A memorable and pleasant experience.

Give it a miss. - It was a little disappointing.
Just 4 wines to choose from, and they were clearly not great wines.
A choice of 4 wines to simply pour into 3 beakers wasn’t really that entertaining or creating anything of any calibre to take home. It is more likely a great way to shift wine that wouldn’t sell any other way.
