Cellar Door in the City to pop-up in Fremantle

I'm a big fan of West Cape Howe and Hay Shed Hill wines; consistently good and always sensibly priced. 

That duo will pair with fellow West Australian producers Mount Trio and Risky Business for their annual Cellar Door in the City tastings in Fremantle on the weekend of July 13-14. 

The venue will be Harbourside Freo - just around the corner from Little Creatures - where you can enjoy uninterrupted 180-degree views of the ocean to Fremantle Harbour. 

The popular pop-up will give visitors the opportunity to taste over 50 wines from the four wineries and their siblings, to chat with the people that make them and also have access to "one weekend only" prices.

The Saturday will see a wine tasting with canapes from 2pm-5pm, while the Sunday will feature a wine tasting with substantial finger food from 11am-2pm. 

Both are standing events and tickets will be on from tomorrow from noon WST.

A fun-sounding Freo food and wine experience

A weekend in Fremantle? Sounds like fun.

A weekend in Fremantle with a wine tasting thrown in? Even better.

On Sunday, February 11, West Cape Howe and some of its wine partners will hold a Cellar Door In the City wine tasting along with "dim sum finger food" crafted by Emily Taylor for $70 per head at Sailing for Oranges in the heart of the West Australian port city,

The fun and frolics will run from 11am into the afternoon, and guests will have the chance to sample over 80 wines from West Cape Howe, Hay Shed Hill, Mount Trio, Kerrigan+Berry, Pitchfork and Risky Business.

To match with the wines think dumplings: lobster and truffle, scallop, oxtail and tofu, along with rendang-stuffed crispy bao, lemongrass and pepper squid and more.

Wine lovers can meet the winemakers and taste their way through both the Great Southern and Margaret River regions. All wines will also be available to purchase at exclusive one-day-only prices.

And if you fancy making a weekend of it, the Warders Hotel is a small boutique hotel in the old limestone cottages that were once the Fremantle Warders’ homes.

The cottages offer a little sanctuary in the vibrant heart of Fremantle and tasting guests get a 15% discount on their stay. See www.wardershotel.com.au
