WINE, FOOD & LIVE MUSIC
2025 marks 10 years since Hadyn and Darcy (aka the Ginger) took the leap and purchased one tonne of Shiraz grapes producing our first vintage under the wine label Black & Ginger.
As part of the 2025 Forage & Feast Festival, we're teaming up with Barney's Bar and Bistro in Pomonal, the home of our new cellar door (opening in 2025) for a relaxed and fun evening as we celebrate 10 years of winemaking and toast the upcoming harvest.
Dinner will feature matched wines, including back vintages, paired with a delicious menu crafted by guest chef, Fushy from Groke Hamilton, showcasing the freshest produce from local growers and members of the Central Highlands Producers Hub.
It’s a great chance to enjoy delicious food, great wine, and toast to a decade of Black & Ginger Wines. Plus LIVE MUSIC by local artists Dave Nicholson and Dirty Country.
Come along, share a meal, and raise a glass to the next 10 years!
