Wine tasting at Eltham

Full Moon Festival by Luna Wine Store welcomes 30 of Australia’s most exciting winemakers and natural wine importers to the region on Saturday, 6 May for the second instalment of the Northern Rivers’ annual Natural Wine Festival.

Luna Wine Store is Byron Bay’s only natural wine store, focusing entirely on independent organic, biodynamic and natural wine producers.

From 2–5pm at the glorious Eltham Hotel, ticket holders will taste wines from around the country, with winemakers visiting from Tasmania, Margaret River, Adelaide Hills, Gippsland, Barossa, Mount Gambier and plenty more, welcoming the likes of Dan Graham (Sigurd Wines), Rory Duggan (R. D’Meure) and importers Lo-Fi Wines, Liz Carey (Vivant) and Giorgio de Maria.

Promising to be an afternoon and evening of high energy, beautiful wine, great music and conversation, this is a unique chance to chat face-to-face with those who are connected to the land with which they craft their produce in a casual, party environment. Once the tasting ends, we party until late with Luna’s ‘Baller Bar’ serving unique and rare natural wines from around the world by the glass.

Expect live music, food from a combined effort of the Eltham/Ciao Mate kitchens, and the Eltham bar will be open as usual. Wines shown on the day will be available for takeaway after the festival, and bookings for a charter bus ride to Bangalow or Byron Bay are available at 7pm or 9pm at the time of ticket purchase for $12.50.

Tickets are $75pp via Eventbrite, the link is available through Luna Wine Store’s instagram page, or alternatively drop in to the store and book directly on their iPad. Bookings for Echo readers are available with a 10 per cent locals discount, just use code ‘ECHO23’ at checkout.
