Into the Vines, a wine tasting event dedicated to lo-fi and minimal intervention wines, is back by popular demand, taking place this coming Wednesday. 

The event will feature 25+ small-batch, vineyard-driven wines directly from their makers. 

will provide Sydney-siders with the chance to trial over 25 of Australia’s best new-age and lo-fi wines directly from their makers. The selection on offer has been deliberately chosen to demonstrate the diversity and the diversity and flexibility of the lo-fi, minimal intervention category, and seeks to satiate everyone from hipster field-blend lovers to more traditional single-vineyard Shiraz aficionados.

The five wineries in Wednesday’s lineup are:

• Fin Wines (Yarra Valley, VIC): a young fermentation collective,
• Mada Wines (Canberra, ACT): a terroir-driven producer,
• Mallaluka Wines (Canberra, ACT): considered boutique and boundary-pushing,
• Renzaglia Wines (Bathurst NSW): a full of life and family-owned winery, and
• Vinden Wines (Hunter Valley, NSW): which is proudly organically farmed and family-owned.

The event is being hosted at Freshwater Brewing and has incorporated the venue’s recently  updated menu into two of the ticket options: 

• For $15, attendees will have access to all the wines of the tasting, served by their makers.
• For $40, attendees will have access to the tasting along with a burger and a pint. 
• For $45, attendees will have access to the tasting along with a platter for two.

Entry is form between 6pm and 7:30pm (when doors close). Eventgoers will also be given a tasting card, glass, pen and token to vote for their favourite winery at the end.
