Budfest at Briar
Our annual Budfest at Briar Festival is back for its third year on Sunday September 18th from 11am. The festival is an opportunity to celebrate budburst in the vineyard, and to highlight that wine can be as enjoyable with good simple food not just with a meal in a fine dining restaurant.
Head Winemaker Gwyn Olsen is a firm believer that “a good wine doesn’t always need candles, white tablecloths and Wagyu beef, but can be equally enjoyable with your favourite takeaway”.
Budfest at Briar sees Epicure Café prepare a selection of lunchtime favourites, such as a pork slider with chips and lamb korma with rice, whilst winemaker Andrew Ling is on hand to guide us with a number of wine pairing options. With five food selections to choose from, including two choices for the kids, even the most discerning foodie will be satisfied. There will also be a showcase of Hunter Valley cheeses, handcrafted sweets and treats, craft beer and cider available for purchase.
Take part in the ‘Briar Budfest Wine Challenge’ for a laugh with friends and family, whilst the kids are entertained with games on the lawn.
Popular Maitland musician Dave Wells will be playing some relaxed Sunday tunes, so bring along your picnic rug and settle in for an afternoon of great music, food and a glass or two of Briar Ridge’s finest.
Tickets are available for purchase through the Briar Ridge website (www.briarridge.com.au) and are $30 for adults, $15 for 17 years and under and only $25 for Briar Ridge Vintage Club Members!
