Vin Diemen Festival

The annual Vin Diemen festival will return to Melbourne on Sunday 11 August hosted at Pure South Dining for one true Tasmanian experience, celebrating the region’s exceptional food and wine culture. Brought to life by Wine Tasmania, with support from master of events Revel, the VIN Diemen event will give guests an opportunity to explore Tasmania’s culinary delights without leaving the city.

Tasmania is Australia’s hidden gem, where the wild meets a cool, calm and collected climate with an abundance of natural beauty. This year, Vin Diemen Melbourne will showcase the unparalleled quality of Tasmania’s wine and food, with an extended line-up of the island’s leading vintners and producers.

Guests can wind their way through the island’s regions, tasting an array of varieties from every corner of the island. The day will welcome 20 producers and 100 different wines, including, Tamar Ridge, Moores Hill Estate, Kreglinger Wine Estates and Bream Creek Vineyard.

Meadowbank’s Alex Deane, participating in VIN Diemen for the first time, said, "Meadowbank is excited for Vin Diemen 2019, not only to tell our own story, of which we are of course proud, but also for how good it will be to share the floor with fellow growers and makers (young and old) who are truly exploring how good Tasmanian wine can become. Exciting times."

Situated in the heart of Melbourne, Pure South will transform into a gourmet isle for the day, offering an unrivalled feast of Tasmania’s finest flavours accompanied by dishes tailored to each region. The restaurant sources quality, seasonal ingredients from farmers, fisherman and artisan producers across the region, guests can expect produce such as Nicols Chicken, Scottsdale Pork, Pyengana Dairy, and Huon Salmon as part of this year’s menu.
