Want that little slice of European summer but without those very expensive plane tickets? Enter Le Grape Escape.
This two day celebration of the joie de vivre by the same crew that brought us the most oh la la event in Melbourne, So Frenchy, So Chic.
Sip your way through around 110 wines from 13 French regions curated by Pierre Stock (you may have met him at France-Soir, given he was sommelier there for around 20 years) who now heads up PS Wine Selections.
From classic Chablis to trendy natural wines, there's something for every palate and food-wise there’s a stack on offer with Pinchy’s their usual champagne and lobster offering, Pearl Chablis & Oyster Bar and L'Hôtel Gitan with some tradish French fare.
“There are some classic wines that showcase the terroirs and specific characteristics of the grapes, as well as some modern winemaking with little intervention, pushing the limits of biodynamic practices,” Stock says.
Bonus, when that wine hits you can dance the night away with live music and DJs from the SFSC crew.
