ACCLAIMED wines from Bridgewater’s Black Wallaby were the toast of diners at the town’s equally applauded hotel on Saturday.
Dave and Jayne Lawson showcased varieties from their vineyard on the banks of the Loddon River in the year’s finale of the hotel’s Feast by the Loddon series.
Diners came from across the Loddon and Bendigo to enjoy the award-winning Black Wallaby releases paired with a five-course tapas menu prepared by chef Ethan Egan.
Wines included the 2017 Madelyn Sparkling Rose, 2020 Albino Viognier and Chardonnay blend, 2020 Ruby Rose, 2016 Estate Shiraz, 2021 Sylvie Sangiovese and a 2015 late bottled port.
Originally planned for the hotel’s riverside beer garden, the function was moved indoors as rain continued to fall during the day.
Bendigo vocalist and guitarist Jared Healy also entertained more than 60 people at the hotel’s third Feast event of the year.
The hotel also joined with Turner’s Crossing and Passing Clouds in presenting wine and cuisine celebrations in 2024.
