Victorian wineries in the heart of Melbourne
Whether you’re a wine buff or enjoy discovering new wines you can taste some of Victoria’s finest drops at Federation Square. Each month the Fed Square Wine Showcase features a different Victorian wine region, offering visitors the chance to rub shoulders with the winemakers, enjoy the latest offerings from their cellar door and help judge the ‘People’s Choice’ for best wines.
New City to Cellar discount card available – it’s a small card, but it will take you a long way!
In an Australian exclusive the official judging of the wine takes place live, allowing you to compare notes with the judges and learn what to look for when tasting and purchasing wine. Public judging of the wines is conducted in the BMW Edge, with the winners of the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals announced on Thursday evening. Showcase winners then compete in the annual Fed Square Wine Awards, which caps off the season with a ‘Best of the Best’ showcase and awards ceremony in August.
Guests at the Fed Square Wine Showcase will also enjoy the smooth sounds of local jazz band, Peter Baylor Trio, and a tasting dish from participating restaurants.
