Date: 20 MarchVenue: Casa Luna Gourmet Accommodation , 1569 Boggy Creek Rd, Myrrhee | Contact Details: | 03 5729 7650 |
Come to Casa Luna in the beautiful King Valley to decide who wins - the King Valley or Italy. Taste local wines and compare them with their equivalent varieties from the land of their origins. Expect pinot grigio, arneis and sangiovese, with a few surprises as well, all matched with Casa Luna's Italian-influenced food, featuring wonderful locally grown produce.
Casa Luna Gourmet Accommodation is a boutique accommodation house with food, set in the heart of the King Valley wine region in the foothills of Victoria's Alps. Italian winemakers grow the grapes of the regions of their origins, and we will be pitting these wines against their counterparts from Italy. You be the judge!
Wines are matched with an indulgent lunch served in the stunning glass-walled dining room, overlooking the Boggy Creek valley and rolling hills of vines.
Accommodation packages are available at Casa Luna, or we can advise on other accommodation options available nearby. |
