Aurum wines and optional canapé pairings

Award-winning local Byron winery Aurum is opening for tastings of their premium dry wines made from local Northern Rivers honey – and no, they are not sweet!

No headaches, no hangovers, no grapes! Just great naturally-made wines that taste as good as traditional wine and champagne, but that are better for you, and more sustainable!

A world’s first, created right here in Byron, Aurum has also just won ‘Champion Show Mead’ at the Australian National Mead Awards, and ‘Top 20 Drinks of the Year 2024’ in the Australian Financial Review wine awards.

Head to Newrybar Village to discover the full range of award-winning local Aurum wines, meet the maker with a guided tasting led by Byron Bay winemaker Louis Costa, and optional canapé pairings (until sold out) curated by an award-winning French Michelin Chef. The cellar door will be open on Saturdays at Newrybar Hall from 10am to 4pm, on May 10, 24 and 31.
