The wine was not the only star of the evening; attendees also had the pleasure of exploring a variety of fresh food stalls, adding to the gastronomic delights of the event.

A generously sized stage at the heart of Eucalyptus Park provided a platform for live music, infusing the air with a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.

Amidst the park’s enormous trees, attendees found respite from the evening sun on Friday, as ample tables and chairs were strategically placed, inviting wine enthusiasts to savour their chosen wines in the pleasant warmth of the evening.
