Harvest Grape Stomping
($100 pp for 1.5 hours)

Harvest. It’s the ultimate time of year in a winery. Urban Winery Sydney is the only place in the city where you can be part of it all.

After being greeted in the winery, your group is taken on a tour through the facility to experience the art of the wine making process right from stomping the grapes to sampling wines during different stages of the maturing process.

Classes run each weekend from the second week in March for the four week duration of harvest.

Classes will be held from 11am-12:30pm and 1pm-2:30pm

End Of Harvest - Chef X Winemaker Lunch
($150 pp for a four-course meal matched to six A.Retief wines)

Urban Winery Sydney is so happy to welcome back Brendan Cato from The Farmed Table for our End Of Harvest Chef X Winemaker lunch at Urban Winery Sydney.

Anyone who has ever tasted Brendan’s food knows the detail and passion that goes into not only his cooking, but also the sourcing of his produce. Just like us at Urban Winery Sydney, Brendan’s focus is local – seasonal and sustainable – and not just in the ‘buzzword sense’.

He is genuinely dedicated to working with producers that he knows and trusts and he is certainly not afraid to forage for something different as well. Looking forward to seeing you all there for our harvest wrap!

Join us Sunday March 31st from 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm

Wine Blending Session
($150 pp for 2 hours)

These sessions are one of the more entertaining and informative classes. Separated into groups of four, you’ll sit down with our head winemaker and be taken through six single variety red wines, exploring the aroma, structure and palate-feel of each.

Each group is then given measuring cylinders and half an hour to come up with their favourite blend, for example, mixing 50% shiraz, 30% merlot, 10% petit verdot and 10% tempranillo. These ‘favourite blends’ are then collated and poured to the groups, so they can be blind-tasted and judged by everyone involved – with an ultimate winner appointed on the day.

If you really like your blend, you can purchase a dozen of your wine with your own personalised label – delivered to your door the following week.

Classes run Tuesday 11am-1pm and 3pm-5pm

Monthly sessions held on second Sunday of each month from 3pm-5pm

TOUR AND TASTE
($85 pp for 1 Hour)

Be toured through the winery by our head winemaker and learn about the art of the wine making process. Arriving at the tasting table, there is a six-glass wine-flight set up for each person, where we walk everyone through six wines from three different wine regions of NSW.

Explore the aroma, structure and palate-feel of each wine whilst enjoying a charcuterie and cheese platter.

Take home a bottle of A.Retief wine to remember the experience.

Tours run Monday and Wednesday from 11am to 12pm and 1pm to 2pm
