Delight your tastebuds and learn about wine in a tasting workshop at the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute with Amie Brûlée, Doctor of Wine.

We’ll taste and talk about a delicious selection of whites and reds from the local region – Grampians, Pyrenees and Ballarat. Amie will guide you through the tasting, explaining the similarities and differences, and how the geography influences the way each wine tastes. As well as tasting, you’ll learn about the wine making process, the history of wine in Victoria (including some interesting experiments), which grapes the region does best, and how to choose a wine you like.

The perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Amie Brûlée, also known as Dr Amie Sexton, has a PhD in wine, is an experienced and engaging teacher, and has quite a passion for fermented beverages. Over the years she has lived and worked in wine in Bordeaux (France), taught wine history and tasting at The University of Melbourne, and shared her love of wine in many workshops, presentations and performances.
