Sparkling Shiraz a feature in Heritage Unseen Series

Starting Friday 23rd October, Bendigo’s winemakers will be live-streaming a very special edition of Bendigo Heritage Uncorked – The Unseen Series. Each Friday over six weeks, local host Kathie Bolitho chats to three different winemakers from the unseen corner of a historic Bendigo building.

* Glenwillow Wines will be featured on Friday 27th November at the spectacular Shamrock Hotel in Central Bendigo. We will be accompanied by Sutton Grange Wines and Newbridge Wines.

Kicking off at 6pm on 27th November, the interactive live-stream will showcase these wines and stories of the three winemakers with quiz questions, wine tasting discussion, and a virtual tour of the heritage venue. You'll take a step back in time as the series explores early historic buildings that now make Bendigo so recognisable (in our case the Shamrock Hotel), how each winemaker got their start and the evolution of our wine preferences.
