“God made Cabernet Sauvignon, whereas the Devil made Pinot Noir.” — Andre Tchelistcheff

There’s a chill in the air. Moody skies herald a change in season, and woodsmoke unfurls from fireplaces, creeping softly into dark corners. The vines may be dormant, but there is plenty of action happening ‘beneath the surface’. It’s time to dig deep and unearth hidden delicacies.

In the vineyard the winter rain refills our waterways and brings welcome respite while the vines settle into hibernation until they are ready for new life. Now is the time to slow down, rug up, and savour the many earthly delights that the winter encourages.

Truffles, dark chocolate, freshwater fish, marron, venison, and pork are all in abundance. Join us as we sit around the fire with a sublime bottle or two of Pinot and share stories, contemplating what the past vintage was like alongside hopes for the next.

You’ll be privy to culinary wonders, meet some legendary winemakers, access behind-the-scenes experiences and dive deeper into the otherworldly magic of Pemberton.
