Harvest Grape Plunging
($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 plunging the grapes to sampling wines during different stages of the maturing process.

Available every Saturday and Sunday from March 7 2021 for the four week duration of harvest.

Sessions will be held from 12pm – 1:30pm and 3pm – 4:30pm

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 Monday and Tuesday from 3pm-5pm

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