Sunday Morning 30th Oct Blend Your Own Muscat and Tasting of Chocolate

Hidden Creek has barrels of Muscat of various ages. The secret of a great Muscat is to blend the old wine for depth and lusciousness, with the young wine for freshness. The art is in the blending. Andrew Corrigan MW will lead you through the process and let attendees as individuals or teams have a try. We will taste each other's final blends and there will be a winner announced. Sunday morning 10 am – noon. $25 per person.
