Learn Something, Drink Something. Repeat.

Cabin Fever isn’t just about eating, drinking and dancing your way through winter. It’s also your chance to learn something new along the way.

Blending your own wine, hunting truffles at sunrise, getting hands-on in the garden, stretching into the weekend with Pilates and wine, discovering what makes a museum Cabernet taste so special… these events go beyond simply turning up and tucking in.

Roll up your sleeves. Ask questions. Taste as you go. These are the Cabin Fever events that put you right in the middle of the action.

Ransack The Cellar

Cape Grace Wines | Saturday 18th July & Saturday 25th July | $65 +BF

For the love of Cabernet.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens to great wine after a decade in the cellar, this is your chance to find out. Join Head Winemaker Conrad Tritt for an intimate museum tasting celebrating 30 years of exceptional winemaking, with a special focus on Cape Grace’s limited-release Reserve Basket Pressed Cabernet Sauvignon.

Taste your way through rare museum vintages from 2012 through to 2019, discover how each growing season shaped the wine in your glass, and gain insights straight from the person who knows these wines best. Better yet, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase museum wines rarely available to the public.

Hair Of The Truffle Dog

Margaret River Truffle Farm | Sunday 19th July | $220+BF

Breakfast of champions looks a little different during Cabin Fever.

Pull on your boots, grab a glass of bubbles and follow the farm’s highly trained truffle dogs as they sniff out prized black truffles beneath the winter soil. Along the way, you’ll learn how truffles are found, what makes a great harvest and why these elusive fungi are so highly prized.

The reward? A truffle-laden breakfast by the fire paired with Skigh Wines and a soundtrack of beats.

Food Of Gods, Kings & Pigs – SOLD OUT

Margaret River Truffle Farm | Friday 17th July| $220+BF

The nighttime version of truffle hunting might just be even better.

Begin with a glass of bubbles before heading into the orchard after dark alongside expert guides and their truffle dogs. Learn about the harvest, uncover prized black truffles and experience the hunt beneath the winter sky.

Then it’s back to the fire for a lively feast featuring truffle-laden dishes, wines from LS Merchants and plenty of winter warmth.

Forage & Ferment At Wayfinder

Then comes the hands-on part. Guests will learn the art of pickling and preserve their own jar of vegetables to take home. Alongside the workshop, Wayfinder’s winemaking team and chef Felipe Montiel will guide guests through low-intervention wines and antipasti pairings inspired by the venue’s regenerative philosophy.

Blending Camp At Juniper Estate

Juniper Estate | Sunday 26^th July | $125+BF

SIP. STRETCH. SAVOUR.
