Experience Winemaking with Trinity Hill

Join us for an exclusive wine blending experience at Trinity Hill’s iconic winery on the Gimblett Gravels! Immerse yourself in the art and science of winemaking as you create your own red blend, “The Gimblett,” with guidance from our expert team. On arrival, enjoy a glass of our ‘new’ Emma 2024 before collaborating in small groups to learn the art of the blending process and crafting your own unique blend using components from our 2024 vintage red wine. Trinity Hill’s Chief Winemaker, Warren Gibson, will taste each group's blend and award the winner. Trinity Hill will bottle the winning blend and label the wine with a specially designed label to commemorate your time at the F.A.W.C! event. After all the hard work is done, sit back and savour the charcuterie platters accompanied by a 50ml pour of Gimblett Gravels’ “The Gimblett,” showcasing our winemaking team’s favourite vintages.
