Join the team at Lerida Estate, Lake George, as they lift the cover on winemaking with two master classes during February.

Learn about making and blending wines and sparklings this summer...and of course there will be plenty of tasting! The classes all include lunch over at the restaurant.

A little bit about Lerida Estate...
Jim Lumbers has a dream: to create the world's finest Pinot Noir. Jim and his wife Anne came closer to realising this dream by creating Lerida Estate in 1997, complete with a Glenn Murcutt-designed winery.

On fertile slopes overlooking Lake George, the site was chosen as it resembled some of the great Pinot Noir growing areas of France. The site has since produced some great Pinot Noir wines (as well as some other superb wines!), which you can sample during the Pinot Noir Master Class.

Lerida is also the home of a number of Pétanqué courts, so why not enjoy a free game of Pétanqué/Boules. While at the winery, don't forget to visit Cafe Lerida and try some of Anne's delicious homemade scones, seasonal local produce and superb espresso coffee (and Truffles if you come on the weekend during the Truffle season).

You can also take winery tours all month long.
