Events
Black and Ginger Wines attend wine and food events throughout the year, including regional events such as the iconic Grampians Grape Escape and regularly feature on the Urban Wine Walk. As members of Grampians Wine Black and Ginger we showcase our wines at An Evening in the Vines, annual pop-up in January, Red Series in Ballarat in July and Grampians in a Glass in Melbourne during August. We also collaborate with local chefs and venues to bring exciting events to you.
Looking for a place to stay for your visit? Look no further than Hounds Run Vineyard, the home of Black & Ginger Wines. A private vineyard retreat — off-grid Tiny House with 360° Grampians views. Sit at the top of the vineyard as the vines turn gold and the Grampians range stretches to the horizon. Pour
a glass of Black & Ginger Lily's Block Shiraz. Watch the sun set over the Black Ranges. This is Hounds Run in autumn — and there is nowhere else quite like it.

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 27th July 2026
Where: Medallion Club, Marvel Stadium, Docklands
