Greek Wine Fair

Saturday May 27th, 12pm - 2pm Join us as we take you on a vinous journey around Greece. A country that has a history with the grapevine dating back more than 6000 years. It was the centre of the wine world in 500 BC subsequently passing the mantle, knowledge and sophisticated wine culture to the Romans. In 1453 BC, Ottoman rule diminished viticulture with oppressive taxes and the industry didn't gain momentum until after WWII. Greece’s wine history has never been more exciting, as young, dynamic producers work tirelessly to master the wealth of native varieties available to them. Greece has between 200 & 300 of them, with only around 80 that have been bottled and sold commercially. The most readily available wines in Australia are made from Assyrtiko, Xinomavro & Agiorgitiko. We will have a benchmark selection of these and more - think Malagousia, Moschofileiro, Limniona and friends. We will also be including some classic Greek food to match so a tasting that should be on your radar! Tickets are $20 with $10 refundable on purchases of wine over $100
