Smoke + Soul hosted by Rob Dolan Wines

There are few things which can help ease the winter blues more than a smooth red, smoked meats, and the sound of sweet soul music. 

We’re bringing this trio together at Rob Dolan Wines for Smoke + Soul, as part of Wine Yarra Valley’s Fireside winter festival 2024.

You’ll be welcomed to the winery with sparkling wine and canapés, and the opportunity to enjoy open fires and live tunes before heading into the cosy Barrel Room for your main course and dessert.

The smokehouse menu, designed and executed by The Farm Yarra Valley team, will feature a selection of canapes and meat freshly smoked on open flame and will be complimented by our Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

For the evening entertainment, we are proud to host Rambal, a six-piece band playing an electrifying mix of soul, blues, and funk music who have been touring up and down the East Coast of Australia garnering national attention with their soul-packed performances.

Wine tastings will be available throughout the evening, as well additional wine, beer, and cocktails for purchase.

Rob Dolan Wines is tucked away in Warrandyte South amongst vineyards and farmland, only 30 minutes from Melbourne CBD and is easily accessible by taxi or uber.

What your ticket includes: Sparkling on arrival, canape hour entrée, seated smokehouse main course with share-style sides and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, petit four dessert, mulled wine station, complementary wine tastings before the first live music set, live music entertainment.

Additional drinks such as beer, wine, spirits and soft drink can be purchased at The Farmhouse bar on the night.
