Urban Winery Sydney is located within the Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park Sydney. All blending classes are conducted within the winery and run each week on a Tuesdays from 11:00am - 1:00pm and 3:00pm - 5:00pm and on the second Sunday of each month from 3:00pm - 5:00pm. After being greeted in the winery, your group is taken on a short tour through the facility to experience the art of the wine making process. Guests are then seated among the barrels where we walk everyone through six wines from three different wine regions of NSW, whilst enjoying an array of local NSW cheese and charcuterie spread along the table. At this stage each group is then given measuring cylinders and half an hour to come up with their favorite blend before these blends been judged in a blind tasting. After the tour and tasting guests will have the opportunity to visit our cellar door to explore further varieties, alternatively should you wish to bottle the concoction just created this can be arranged to be bottled, labeled and delivered to your nominated address the following week at an additional cost.

Situated in Sydney, Urban Winery’s blending workshops are counted among the most entertaining and enlightening experiences. Participants, separated into teams, join our lead wine producer Alex Retief for a journey through six unique types of red wine, diving into their scent, composition and taste.
Each team is provided with measuring cylinders and a thirty-minute window to create their preferred blend, such as a mix of 50% shiraz, 30% merlot, 10% petit verdot, and 10% tempranillo. These ‘top picks’ are then collected and served to the teams for a blind-taste test and a group judgment, culminating in the declaration of the day’s champion blend.
While our participants find themselves surrounded by wine barrels in the heart of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, the ambiance transports them to the picturesque vineyards of regional NSW. The session concludes with a tasting of select wines complemented by an assortment of cheese and cured meats.
