WINES
PINOT NOIR
The Southern Forests is home to two of Australia’s finest cool climate wine growing regions, Manjimup and Pemberton, with the first commercial winery established in 1982. With rich, loam soil, the area has more than 50 vineyards, of which almost half are family-owned wineries, with many offering cellar door tastings and beautiful restaurants serving fresh, local, gourmet food.
The wines shown here all include (or are exclusively) made from pinot noir grapes from the Manjimup or Pemberton wine regions.
Wines currently listed were promoted for the 2024 festival.
The 2025 event wine list will be launched in January 2025.
