Events
Black & Ginger 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 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 regularly 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 Grampians.
This is Hounds Run in autumn — and there is nowhere else quite like it.
SCROLL DOWN TO CHECK OUT OUR UPCOMING EVENTS
Club Vino
Black & Ginger wines are headed to the big smoke! We’ve partnered with Club Vino, a social wine club and tasting in the heart of Melbourne. The team from Club Vino guide you through three side by side tastings, sippin’ six different wines total. They compare styles, explain the differences, and help guests figure out what they actually like and why. It’s semi structured but if you just want to sip and yap you’re more than welcome. This one’s a little different. Club Vino is taking over Ultra Culture’s colourful kiosk space in Brunswick for the night, so expect the Club Vino format with a different atmosphere.

Prints & Pours
A Printmaking Workshop with Ash van Dyck
We love an excuse to get creative at the Wine Shed, and this one might be our most hands-on yet. Join us for an evening of relief printmaking with local interdisciplinary artist Ash van Dyck. No experience needed — just curiosity, a little creativity, and a willingness to get inky.
Grampians BBQ Festival
Beer, Blues and ‘Ques — and yes, we’re bringing the wine.
We’re thrilled to be pouring at the inaugural Grampians BBQ Festival, happening over Father’s Day weekend in the heart of Gariwerd. Think low and slow BBQ, live blues, craft beer, local makers, and a glass of Black & Ginger to wash it all down.
Whether you’re a competition pitmaster, a dedicated spectator, or just there for the vibes, find us on the grounds and let us pour you something special. Because honestly, what goes better with smoke and fire than a great Grampians red?
When: Friday 4th – Sunday 6th September 2026

Black & Ginger at the Great Western FNC Market
Trick or… wine? We’ll be at the Great Western FNC Market on Halloween, pouring Black & Ginger wines alongside food trucks, live music and local stall holders at the Thomson Community Centre Oval. Whether you’ve just crossed the finish line at the Lion Chase Fun Run or you’re there purely for the post-market pour, come find us — no costume required (but we won’t judge if you show up in one). A brilliant morning out in one of Victoria’s most historic wine towns, supporting a great local club. See you there!

Five Courses. Five Wines. One Night to Remember.
This December, Black & Ginger and IRIS by Block & Cleaver are joining forces for an evening of quietly extraordinary dining in the heart of the Grampians.
Executive Chef Dean Sibthorp brings his signature approach — seasonal, intentional, and beautifully executed — to five thoughtfully crafted courses, each paired with a Black & Ginger wine chosen to complement, contrast, and elevate every bite.
This is the kind of evening that reminds you why you live somewhere like this.
Save the date: Saturday 5th December 2026
