Kicking off the Savor Spring Food Festival with a bang, Bivacco is set to host a unique degustation in collaboration with storied winemaker, Penfolds, celebrating 180 years of exceptional viticulture, and we have a table for four to giveaway.
One of Australia’s most famed and respected winemakers, Penfolds’ history began in 1844, and by the mid-1880s the winery was producing 1/3 of all South Australia’s wine. Fast-forward another decade, and the company’s first Chief Winemaker, Max Schubert, propelled Penfolds onto the global stage with his experimentation of long-lasting wines — the creation of Penfolds Grange in the 1950s.

Since then, a lot has happened — including Penfolds Grange being given a heritage listing in South Australia, and many a medal awarded to the winery’s ever-growing and always innovative range, but one thing has remained consistent — Penfolds’ unwavering dedication to experimentation, curiosity and uncompromising quality.
Now, as the historic winemaker celebrates eighteen decades of innovation and invention, convivial Viaduct Harbour bar and brasserie (and local authority on great drinks), Bivacco, is welcoming those partial to a glass of Penfolds to celebrate this milestone with a unique degustation.
Hosted by Penfolds ambassador Sam O’Connell, this elevated affair will see guests sipping on some of the world’s most celebrated wines while enjoying an expertly prepared, multi-course menu, crafted by Bivacco’s clever culinary team to pair perfectly with the elegant wines being poured.
Guests will enjoy a five course menu with a flight of superb Penfolds wines including the iconic Penfolds Grange, which is known as the most powerful expression of its multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy. On the food front, poached crayfish crostini is paired with Siberian Osetra Superior Caviar, Lake Ohau wagyu carpaccio with wood-roasted beets is topped with burnt butter salmoriglio, and the light, bright Bin 144 is paired perfectly with a tuna crudo, served with buttermilk dressing, cucumber, apple and dill.
With only 40 spots available, this exclusive event, taking place on Wednesday, August 14th, is sure to sell out. Secure your tickets here before they’re gone, or enter below for your chance to win a table for four — valued at $660.
