This spring, Melbourne’s Chin Chin goes international - step into the world of Central Otago wines for Pure Pours | Central Otago NZ Wine Festival.

On Tuesday 28 October, Chin Chin will be transformed into a slice of New Zealand’s South Island, featuring 17 of Central Otago’s most exciting producers pouring their wines and sharing their stories.

Think crisp mountain air, dramatic alpine landscapes, and Pinot Noirs considered among the very best in the world, all brought to life in Melbourne for one unforgettable evening.

Your ticket unlocks a roaming tasting session where you can sip, swirl, and compare drops from across the region – bright aromatic whites, textured Chardonnays, méthode traditionnelle sparkling, and of course, the bold, perfumed Pinot Noirs that have put Central Otago on the global stage.

Taste wines from some of the most established Central Otago wineries: chat with the team from Quartz Reef, who are still hand-riddling and disgorging every bottle of their acclaimed méthode traditionnelle sparkling; discover how Nockie’s Palette fuses fine art and fine wine into “liquid masterpieces”; or learn why Nanny Goat Vineyard takes its name from the nimble wild goats of Central Otago’s rugged terrain.

Taste the breadth of New Zealand winemaking in one place, in one evening. Pair your sips with Chin Chin's infectious atmosphere, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate Tuesday evening session.
