19-24 September 2021
‘Meet the Maker’ Dining Events | Wine Tastings | Bar Takeovers
To celebrate Organic Wine Week (September 20-26) and the spring equinox, wine industry legends Ben Glover (Zephyr) and Erica Crawford (Loveblock) are taking their stellar line-up of organic wines nationwide – sharing their organic journey with a series of innovative bar takeovers, pop-up tastings and dining events.
Both Zephyr and Loveblock take a hands-off approach to winegrowing, nurturing the soil and grapevines as naturally as possible without outside interference – that is, no chemical herbicides, pesticides, or fertilisers. These single-vineyard Marlborough wines are created with thoughtful intent, and a strong sense of place.
Grab a spot at one of the Organic Wine Week events near you! See details below.
