For one exclusive weekend each year, a select few winemakers from across the Bendigo region invite you behind the scenes, beyond their cellar doors, into their barrel halls.

These boutique, highly guarded treasures are accessible only during Barrel Tasting Weekend, offering an intimate experience guided by the winemakers themselves.

Meet the artisans behind the wine, savour vintages directly from the barrel, and immerse yourself in the romance of winemaking.

Discover the unique flavours and characters of wines at various stages of maturation, from ageing in barrels and vats to the bottled product, in this exclusive, behind-the-scenes event!

Exclusive tasting sessions at:

11am
1.30 pm
3.30 pm

* Sessions vary for each winery

Each exclusive guided session is approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Book one session, or create your own itinerary and visit as many as you can across the weekend.

Tickets are $12 for each barrel wine tasting session (plus booking fee), including an exclusive winemaker guided wine tasting and tour.

Some wineries will have food and platters available, you will see this in the second step of your ticket purchasing process.
