The story
Meet the Wine maker, Brian Martin! 

The Hunter-Gatherer range of wines are handcrafted by Macedon Ranges based winemaker Brian Martin. 

Brian has been making wine in the Macedon Ranges since 2004, including 15 years in senior roles at Australia's leading contract sparkling facility, making traditional method sparkling for wineries throughout Australia.​

The Hunter-Gatherer range includes Sparkling, Pet Nat, Riesling, Chardonnay, Rose, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Sangiovese, Cabernet, Shiraz and Sparkling Shiraz.​

Grapes are sourced from the Hunter-Gatherer Pipers Creek vineyard and Brian is known to "Hunt & Gather" exceptional fruit from reputable growers in other corners of the Macedon Ranges and from the nearby Heathcote wine region.

The Hunter-Gatherer vineyard in Pipers Creek was purchased by Brian and Roslyn in 2015 and contains a 5-hectare planting of 20+ year old Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Merlot. The property is farmed in a regenerative manner with a focus on soil health.

Some helpful event details:

🎒 What to bring
Just yourself!

👔 What to wear
Business casual. You do you

🌟 A little more...
From the people you meet to the nibbles you nibble, at BIO we’re big into the little details. We are fanatical about all the facets that come together to make a brilliant meet up, because if you feel at home - you’re more likely to be yourself.

🤔 What does this mean?

- Be yourself, you’re you - not your Company
- Keep the chat interesting
- We don’t use name tags, because, well… just ask!

We can't wait to see you there.

A little more about BIO:

Here at BIO, we do networking a little differently.

You don't have to own your own business (but it’s cool if you do) or be an entrepreneur, you just need to be open to meeting new people, listening to their tales, connecting differently and sharing ideas.

We’re not leeches… so our members are not about sucking the business (or life) out of you. We work together to help our members solve problems, build their businesses, further their careers or develop themselves. We give people a platform to tell their story and make valuable connections.

We hold monthly events for our members, and if you would like to come along - meet new people and give us a whirl then come along and join us to see what all the fuss is about.

Talking’s great, but sometimes so is listening. 

To make sure each BIO event is interesting, we introduce you to our host for the night. This person will take us on a journey throughout the meet-up and talk briefly on a trending subject that sparks interest. From wine-makers to corporate giants we’ve cherry picked topics that are relevant to all businesses - from retaining your talent to the ever looming robots and AI tech, there’s a little something for everyone.
