Next Generation Hunter Valley - How About "One More For The Road"?

Announcement posted by White Ink 08 Mar 2013

2013 Caravan of Courage Venues and Dates Revealed

Watch out – the six loveable larrikins from Next Generation Hunter Valley are kicking off their 3rd and most epic Caravan of Courage yet on Friday May 3. Dubbed “One More For The Road”, the month long travelling wine bar will show each city how the Hunter rolls with a night full of wine and wacky adventures.

The month of madness will include 5 not-to-be-missed Pop Up Wine Bars and begins on Friday, 3 May in Brisbane. The boys will then pop up in Newcastle (Saturday 4 May), Sydney (Friday 10 May), Canberra (Thursday 16 May), and end with a bang in Melbourne (Friday 17 May). Although rumour has it that there has been talk between the lads about heading further afield to Adelaide, Perth and possibly Tasmania in the not too distant future!

Tickets are just $35 (on sale 15 March!) and include over 24 #semsational Hunter wines from these 6 prized stables (David Hook Wines, Thomas Wines, Meerea Park Wines, Mistletoe Wines, De Iuliis Wines, Margan Wines) for you to try, plus the chance to meet the boys behind the brands and find out what really makes them tick.

While the pop-up wine bar locations have been kept a secret in the past, this year we are turning up the heat as we’ve secured some awesome venues which have been revealed this week.

Clear your schedule and gather your mates - with 6 winemakers, a truck load of wine and over 2000km to cover, this is one great big long travelling wine bar not to be missed.
