If you consider yourself a photographer with a sharp eye and a great palate then Tulloch Wines, as part of Food and Wine Month, are running a fun and challenging photographic competition.

Your 'creative brief' is to shoot the front cover of a Food and Wine Magazine. You can choose from a range of props at the Tulloch Cellar Door and using the camera provided, capture your masterpiece on film.

After that it is over to the judges, with the winner's picture published on the Tulloch website as well as in the next edition of Hunter Valley Breathe Magazine. Who knows, this could be the start of a new and exciting career!

Attend our 1 hour sessions and gain the knowledge to identify, select, purchase & store your Hunter Valley Cheese. Match wine styles to your selection and discover the amazing world of our artisan cheese production. An interactive session, questions encouraged, cheese tasting included.

First Creek Wines are offering a two-hour Wine Workshop designed for beginners or enthusiasts alike to gain a little insight into the world of wine.

There will be a maximum of 12 people per class, so bookings are essential.

Hosted by master cheesemaker and wine educator, Christopher Ganzer, this is a tip toe through the joys of finding an awesome food and wine match.

Your counselling session will involve the slightest bit of history and technology that will allow you to dive into a long term and loving relationship between cheese and wine. And once you have mastered all the skills we will put it all into practice with a wine and cheese lunch to beat them all!
