More about the new Wine Forty Four wine tasting event

The new event is aimed at driving awareness and inclusivity in the local wine scene by platforming a selection of wineries that champion organic and regenerative farming, sustainable winemaking, and ethical practices.

Throughout April, 44 Stanley is embracing the art of slowing down. Inspired by Earth Day, the change of season, and a commitment to sustainability, the month is dedicated to Slow Living – a celebration of thoughtful choices, conscious consumption, and connection to nature.

This will be your chance to taste and discover labels you may not have heard of before, chat with established and emerging talents about their winemaking process, brush up on your knowledge, and celebrate a movement that values mindful consumption and authenticity.

For those keen on dining, there are several restaurants and cafes at 44 Stanley where you can enjoy a meal or snack afterwards.
