Speed dating wine-wise




Mitchell Harris Wines in Ballarat is celebrating the regions’ pinots with a special evening of “speed-dating”, winemaker style.
On Friday October 19, Vino Veloce! will see ten local producers gather at Mitchell Harris to chat about their pinots and divulge details on each drop's providence, virtue and vitaculture. Guests in small groups will enjoy 10 minutes per winemaker and taste two of the best variations of the drops from each winery,
