Bring along your current project or start something new — we’ll have yarn and needles on hand. Better yet, help us create a one-of-a-kind Black & Ginger blanket to warm the Shed.

Drink Victorian Trade Tasting
Drink Victorian is all about showing a bit of love to the incredible drinks being made right here in our own backyard. Truth is, only around 20% of venues in Victoria actually stock local booze—and that’s a bit bonkers when you think about the quality we’ve got going on.
This program’s here to change that. Whether it’s small-batch wines, bold spirits, craft beers, crisp ciders or low and no-alc options, Drink Victorian is putting the spotlight on local legends and helping bars, restaurants, distributors and venues discover just how good we’ve got it at home.
When: Monday 28th July 2025
Where: Medallion Club, Marvel Stadium, Docklands

Boardgames & Booze
Ready to roll the dice on a great night out? Join us at the Black & Ginger Wine Shed for Board Game Night — where strategy meets Shiraz and fun is always on the cards.
Bring your favourite game from home or dive into our stash of classics and cult favourites. Whether you're into fierce competition or chill, wine-fuelled laughs, there’s a table (and a glass) waiting for you.
Come solo, bring a crew, or make new mates as you game the night away in our cosy Grampians wine shed. No pressure, just plenty of wine (or beer) and good times.
Hungry? Order dinner from Barney's next door and enjoy it at the wine shed!

Mrs Smith's Trivia
Mrs Smith, the Queen of Melbourne Pub Trivia is coming to Pomonal for one night only! Don’t miss out!
'A fast game is a good game and we’re here for a good time not a long time'
– Mrs Smith.
Time Out Melbourne and Just Melbourne voted Mrs Smith's Trivia the best and no.1 in Melbourne for her fast-talking, high-vibe, popular show. Mrs Smith has been slinging sassy questions about pop culture, music and bizarre trivialities to pub punters for over 25 years and continues to retain the 'Trivia Queen' title.
As part of the Grampians Fine Wine Festival, we're co-hosting Mrs Smith's Trivia alongside Barney's Bar & Bistro on Thursday 9th October!
