Sydney Cellar Door will return as the month’s flagship event, Good Food and The Wind Up Podcast will be telling our stories, Dan Murphy’s will be even more focussed on local, and our hospitality partners will provide the venues across the state to host events and collaborate. NSW Wine President Mark Bourne said “NSW Wine Month is about celebrating the passion, innovation, and diversity of our winemakers. From cool-climate chardonnays to bold shiraz, we want people to experience the extraordinary wines being crafted across our state, and to make choosing local a natural part of the hospitality experience. Sydney Cellar Door will once again be the centrepiece, but the beauty of NSW Wine Month is that it offers something for everyone, everywhere.” Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper said “a key focus of the NSW Visitor Economy Strategy 2035 is delivering culturally rich experiences that highlight our stunning landscapes and worldleading produce. NSW Wine Month does exactly that by pairing our state’s world-class wines with the opportunity to meet the talented people who create them in beautiful locations. From the Hunter to Hilltops and Southern Highlands to the Shoalhaven Coast, NSW Wine Month will feature long table lunches, food and wine pairings, master classes and guided tastings, highlighting why our state’s wine regions are so unforgettable.” The full 2025 NSW Wine Month Calendar can be found at www.nswwine.com.au/nsw-winemonth and will be updated regularly throughout October and November. NSW WINE MONTH 2025 HIGHLIGHTS • Sydney Cellar Door (8 + 9 November) - the flagship NSW Wine Month event returns to The Rocks, where 40 producers from across NSW will gather for a weekend of wine tastings, food, and entertainment (www.sydneycellardoor.com).• Restaurant collaborations – Whether its Margan at Pilu, Ross Hill at Viand, de Beaurepaire at the Pullman or a Cupitt’s x Lowe Italian showdown on the South Coast there’s something for everyone this NSW Wine Month. • Dan Murphy’s – Expect more tastings and masterclasses from great local producers at selected Dan Murphy’s Sydney stores this November.
