Highlights

Learn what goes into making the perfect glass of incredibly well-balanced red wine.


Urban Winery Sydney’s blending sessions are one of the more entertaining and informative classes. Separated into groups, sit down with our head winemaker Alex Retief 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.


Our guests will sit amongst the wine barrels in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, however feel as though they have been transported to the vineyards of regional NSW. The experience will round out with a sample from a few select bottles paired with a cheese and charcuterie platter.

Itinerary

Urban Winery Sydney is located within the Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park Sydney. All blending classes are conducted within the winery and run each week on a Tuesdays  from 11:00am - 1:00pm and 3:00pm - 5:00pm and on the second Sunday of each month from 3:00pm - 5:00pm. After being greeted in the winery, your group is taken on a short tour through the facility to experience the art of the wine making process. Guests are then seated among the  barrels where we walk everyone through six wines from three different wine regions of NSW, whilst enjoying an array of local NSW cheese and charcuterie spread along the table. At this stage each group is then given measuring cylinders  and half an hour to come up with their favorite blend before these blends been judged in a blind tasting. After the tour and tasting guests will have the opportunity to visit our cellar door to explore further varieties, alternatively should you wish to bottle the concoction just created this can be arranged to be bottled, labeled and delivered to your nominated address the following week at an additional cost.
