This ain’t no regular wine tasting. And it’s not just a party. It’s a gathering of emerging winemakers who are shaping the future of Australia’s wine identity.
The Top 50 young guns of wine for 2018… are in Melbourne and on show, Saturday May 12, between 7 pm and 10 pm at Prahran Market.
We’ve been searching for a year and done the hard yards to decide the Top 50, and they’ll be pouring 100 wines for you to taste.
There’s eats available too, with Wilson & Market offering their unique spin on paella, Prahran Market’s famous The Mussel Pot, Q le Baker and luxe toasties from Maker & Monger.
