TICKETS GO ON SALE 9am Thursday 14 August 2025

Brisbane wine lovers, we're very excited because we are bringing you a BRAND NEW winery for you to discover! Orbis Wines joined The Fabulous Ladies' Wine Society earlier this year, and after sold out events with us in Adelaide and Byron Bay the next stop is Brisbane!

Orbis have an amazing female winemaker and managing director at the helm, Verity Cowley, and a female owner too in Kendall Grey. It's double the fabulous. Both of them will be at this event for you to meet and sip with!

Verity, Kendall and the team are all about producing incredible quality wines (they let all the awards they've received do the talking on this!) using regenerative practices, a pursuit of closed loop farming and carbon net zero. The wines are minimal intervention, with low to no sulphur additions, no added fining agents and are unfiltered, gluten free and vegan.

Based in McLaren Vale, the Orbis vineyard is one of the coolest and highest in the McLaren Vale Wine region. Even if you think you already know McLaren Vale wines, for all these many reasons and more this Orbis range is going to knock your socks off! Don't miss your chance to try them on 4th September where we'll share 8 wines from the portfolio over a delicious dinner.

We're back at Mary Mae's at the Powerhouse Museum for this one. River views, spring weather and great wines. What's not to love!? Book fast.

WHAT ARE THE FABULOUS LADIES' WINE SOCIETY EVENTS ABOUT? This is all about bringing together women who love wine and introducing you to women who produce wine! Over an evening of wining, dining, learning and laughing. Most importantly, as a wine drinker and buyer, you are given the chance to directly support the women who make it.

WANT TO COME WITH FRIENDS? Great! You can book separately, or together, and we'll make sure you're seated together on the night.

THINKING OF COMING ON YOUR OWN? That's no problem either! Lots of people do. And we'll seat you with some fabulous wine loving women who'll quickly become new friends.
