Enjoy Food & Wine with Friends at the Region's Favourite Festival!
Geographe Crush Food & Wine Festival has built
a reputation as a great day out discovering the wine and
food from the region. Staged in the
heart of the Geographe Region at Bicentennial Square in
Bunbury, the Festival showcases the fantastic growing region
from Harvey in the north to Busselton in the south and
encompasses the local districts of Capel, Dardanup,
Donnybrook and Collie. Geographe Wine
is the central attraction with over 40 brands available from
this emerging quality wine growing region, right on the
doorstep of the Forrest Highway.

Wine Appreciation Seminars
Together

to present two fantastic wine appreciation seminars at the
event on November 6 at the event.
12.30
with Peter Stanlake, Pith Winemaking
Exploring
Grenache, Shiraz and Mouvedre
Peter will
look at Grenache, Shiraz and Mouvedre, in isolation with
wines from other regions and the Geographe. Then he will go
into some GSM blends with a mix from a range of regions.
2.30 with
Simon Burnell, Senior Winemaker, Willow Bridge Estate.
Tempranillo – challenger for the red throne in Geographe, or
just an interesting alternative?
The
Geographe Wine Region is getting a bit of a reputation for
the quality this ‘alternative’ red variety from Spain
achieves here. Can it really reach the same heights that the
classics Shiraz and Cabernet can? Simon will take you
through a tasting of some locally (and not so locally) grown
versions and compare them to some of the best local Shiraz
and Cabernet.
We recommend
people take the time out to explore and understand the
tastes that are starting to put Geographe on the Australian
wine map.
