Lose yourself amongst the rolling vineyards of the Yarra Valley, Victoria’s premier wine region, and sip an array of meticulously crafted drops from boutique wineries. On a hosted experience at Oakridge Wines, visit the thriving kitchen garden and pick some of the ingredients that esteemed Executive Chef Aaron Brodie and his team will use to create a sumptuous dining experience. Sample wines at the cellar door, and learn about Oakridge’s aromatic whites and powerful reds. Take your seat at the long table to share in a four-course menu inspired by indigenous Australia, the Yarra Valley’s rolling seasons and a “real cooking” ethos – with matched wines, of course.
