Tastings

Cellar doors & wine

A tasting flight of wines lined up on a barrel

Ten doors across the week, from the Jesuits' 1851 cellars at Sevenhill to the home of Grange at Penfolds Magill. The pill on each card shows where things stand: Booked means the tasting is locked in, Walk in means no booking yet, just turn up.
