Are you a lover of white wine? The crisp acidity, elegant minerality, and vibrant fruit notes; wines that are fresh, complex, and full of character.
On Thursday 13 February Sommelier and Owner of wine bar Famelia, Amelia Birch, is joining us at The Women’s Club for an evening dedicated to celebrated white wine varietals, including Chenin, Chardonnay, and Chablis, that will expand your palate and wine knowledge.
At Famelia, Amelia curates a monthly selection of 12 wines by the glass, exclusively made by women winemakers. Her mission is to shine a spotlight on lesser-known but equally delicious varietals, offering wine lovers an opportunity to step outside their comfort zones. These are wines that may not yet grace Australian wine lists or bottle shop shelves but are no less extraordinary in flavor and style.
During this event, you’ll indulge in a 4-course menu paired with 7 half-glasses of Amelia's expertly chosen wines. Each course will feature two wines—one old-world, one new-world—offering a side-by-side comparison to showcase the nuances of these exceptional white wines. All selections are crafted by talented women winemakers.
Whether you’re a seasoned Chardonnay enthusiast or curious about Chenin, this is your chance to explore the versatile and sophisticated world of white wine in a fun, approachable setting. Don’t miss it!
