Revel is best known for its mega events like Pinot Palooza and Gaucho Gil’s Malbec Day. Recently, however, the co has been throwing some more intimate events (at very attractive prices) at its cool HQ space in Collingwood. For example, last week they hosted a Tour of Tuscany Tasting. The event was an awesome opportunity to try […]
The word “best” is overused. We at Wine Hunters think long and hard before applying such a powerful adjective. And yet sometimes, “best” is the only word that can fully capture the stature of a thing. And so it is time we just state the truth plainly. HEATHCOTE PRODUCES VICTORIA’S BEST SHIRAZ. It may well […]
Barossa Be Consumed is one of the top 3 wine festivals on the Melbourne wine calendar. The Barossa Valley literally picks up and comes to our door (well, to the North Melbourne Meat Market, which is one cool venue!) At this year’s show, over 45 wineries showed up to sample their awesome wares. As you will […]
Taste Champagne returns to Australia in August! It is the most spectacular wine event on the AUS wine calendar. Over 80 Champagne houses from France will be pouring bubbles all night long. It will easily be the best and best value-for-money $140 you spend on wine this year. For dates and details, visit the Taste Champagne […]
Less than half an hour out of Perth, the Swan Valley is Western Australia’s oldest wine region and home to wineries that go back to the 1830s! The region has gone through many iterations over such a long period of time and has enjoyed a sort of renaissance over the past couple decades. Though it […]
Margaret River is one of Australia’s most naturally beautiful wine regions, and it also boasts some of Australia’s most stunning cellar doors – probably a higher density of such than any place other than Barossa. It is truly a region in which one can easily and fully immerse oneself into the eternal romance that is […]
We love Rutherglen. The people of the region are so wonderful, the cellar doors are unpretentious and well staffed, and the wines are some of Victoria’s best. It is one of Australia’s most under-recognised wine regions, and that’s good for you the wine enthusiast because getting around is easy, and most of the wineries are […]
Margaret River is one of Australia’s top three or four wine regions. To many, it would be the region that springs next to mind after Barossa. Of course, the words “Margaret River” immediately evoke “Cabernet Sauvignon” and “Chardonnay”, but in recent times, the region is producing some beautiful takes on Shiraz, Malbec, and other varietals […]
In our estimation, on wine quality alone, Heathcote is VIC’s best wine region. Sure, you’ll find some mind-blowing Pinots in Mornington, and Rutherglen can produce some gems, etc, but nowhere else in VIC can you find such a reliable breadth of outstanding wines. It used to be primarily Shiraz (and we’d contend that Heathcote produces […]
