Carafe Wine WIT & Sip May 2024
A bespoke experience where we indulged in wines from Australia’s premium wine regions, including the Yarra Valley, Hunter Valley and McLaren Vale. Sampled wine directly from the barrel, enjoy crafted winery blends and share a charcuterie table while mingling with like-minded WIT industry colleagues who appreciate a good glass of vino.
Carafe Wine will teach you to ‘Rethink the way you drink wine and reuse glass bottles to reduce glass waste on the GC’—making this simple change in your wine purchasing routine ensures less landfill waste. For more info visit: https://www.carafewine.com.au
