Melbourne wine lovers, we’re bringing you none other the 2024 Jimmy Watson winning winery for your next fabulous event! Don’t miss joining us on 15th May for a truly incredible evening of wine and good times. Gather your girlfriends and clear your diary!

The most recent winner of the coveted Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy – otherwise just known as the ‘Jimmy Watson’, Australia’s top wine prize – is Four Winds Vineyard. It catapulted them into the national spotlight last November. And we are bringing Sarah Collingwood and her wines to Melbourne for the very first time to show you just how many more incredible wines this little Canberra-region winery has up their sleeve.

The Four Winds Story began more than a century ago with a miner and his wife who lived on the property just outside Canberra, in a slab-hut. Her name was Scheherazade, after the story telling character in The Arabian Nights. Her favourite story described a magic carpet being borne by the four winds of good fortune. So she named their small farm near ‘Four Winds’ in the hope it would carry their good fortunes. Today, Sarah and her husband John are the custodians of Four Winds, growing and producing all their own wine from their own vineyards, which were originally planted by Sarah’s parents in the late 90’s. We think you’d say good fortune has definitely found them!

We can’t wait for you to meet Sarah and try these incredible wines for yourself.
