Join us in the Poonawatta Private Cellar. Our VIP Tastings are hosted personally by one of the Poonawatta family and structured to meet the interests of each group, with wines selected from the current release and the Poonawatta museum collection. During this personalised tasting you will gain a comprehensive insight into the Poonawatta story and experience some of the best of Poonawatta’s boutique hand crafted wines. Accompanied by a gourmet cheese plate, this experience is an immersion into the passion and craft behind Poonawatta.
