Alternative Grape Varieties

Federation Square Victorian Wine Showcase

The Showcase is held on the first Wednesday and Thursday evenings of each month at Melbourne's Federation Square

Coming Showcases 2010

No Showcase in January

We have to have a holiday sometimes.

July (7th, 8th)

North East Victoria

August (4th, 5th)

Fed Square Wine Awards Showcase

The format is each participating winery has a table set out as a virtual cellar door. You can taste the wine, talk to the winemaker, join the mailing list, buy a bottle or fill in an order form for a dozen.

You can do everything you would have done if you had driven a couple of hundred kilometres to the winery. Then you take three steps and you are at the next winery!

Visitors can also vote for the monthly "People's Choice Award" for the best red, white or fortified of the month.

Vinodiversity at the Showcase

Most months there is a Vinodiversity table at the Showcase. I have the Wine Grape Varietal Table for display and purchase (save on mailing costs). I also have a copy of my "10 dishes for Sangiovese" cookbook for perusal.

But mostly I'm there to chat with the winelovers and winemakers and discuss what might be the People's Choice this month. There are always new varieties and new releases to talk about.

Why not stop by to introduce yourself or catch up on the latest gossip in the wine trade.
