What better way to celebrate late summer than with a Summerside Festival. Food and wine, wine tours, lunches and fine dining, and music in the vines are just a part of what’s on throughout February in the Canberra wine region. Here’s a quick selection of what’s on offer, and don’t forget to book your wine tour with Vines & Wines.
Canberra Wine Region Summerside Festival – February 2015
An entire month of music in the vines is happening at Lerida Estate Wines with local musicians and entertainers every Saturday and Sunday from 1 – 22 February inclusive. They’re also running a Wine and Cheese Matching Master Class, a Wine Master Class, and a Duck and Pinot Master Class.
Summerside Festival lunch and wine
Live music over the weekends includes Sally Greenaway (award winning pianist, composer and musical director), Leisa Keene (pianist and jazz vocalist), and Carlos Perez Martinez (Spanish guitarist).
