Join us in Northcote for a guided introduction to the classic wines and grape varieties that shaped the world of wine. From the rolling vineyards of France and Italy to the renowned regions of Spain and Germany, this experience explores the foundations of European winemaking.
Perfect for both beginners and wine lovers wanting to build confidence, you'll learn about the essential grapes and regions behind many of your favourite wines—from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Riesling.
Over two relaxed and engaging hours, you’ll taste eight carefully selected European wines, moving from fresh and mineral-driven whites to elegant, structured reds. Your host will guide you through how to taste wine with confidence, while explaining grape varieties, regional styles, terroir, and traditional production methods that define the Old World.
There will be time for questions and discussion at the end of the session, along with the opportunity to purchase your favourite bottles with an exclusive class discount.
Across the tasting, you’ll enjoy approximately 2.5 glasses of wine in total. Spittoons will be available for those who prefer to pace themselves, and we’re conveniently located near public transport in Northcote.
If you’re looking for unique things to do in Northcote, whether it’s a date night, birthday celebration, or simply a chance to expand your palate, head to this welcoming and thoroughly enjoyable experience at Northside Wines!

Serious about wine and not much else. We're a casual wine bar offering up craft Australian wine from innovative Aussie farmers.
At Northside Wines we focus on amazing alternative grape varietals grown here in Australia. Whilst the wider market is heavily saturated by the noble varietals, these grapes are not always suited to the Australian climate leading to extensive irrigation and maintenance. By growing vines which are better suited to their environment, wine is produced sustainably and a true reflection of the land from which it came.
Our gorgeous large venue is available for hire in full or part capacity. We have a range of food and beverage packages to suit your special occasion.
