Nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley, Pimpernel Vineyards has been crafting artisan wines since 2001. Founded by Mark and Fiona Horrigan, this is a family-run estate which operates to a simple philosophy: exceptional wine begins in the vineyard.
Their dry-grown vines produce low yields of intensely flavoured fruit, and minimal intervention winemaking allows each bottle to express the character of the land. Join them in their cosy cellar door where their knowledgeable team will guide you through a selection of wines from their current release. Each pour tells the story of the season, shaped by winemaker Damien Archibald's thoughtful interpretation of the harvest.

Taste through a selection of five Pinot Noirs, including current release to rarely seen museum offerings, exploring how the variety transforms in the glass and in the cellar. Along the way, you will explore Pimpernel's evolving approach to Pinot production while also digging into the climate and geography that makes the Yarra Valley one of Australia's most compelling regions for Pinot Noir. The seated tasting lasts for approximately 60 minutes and is led by their knowledgeable staff.
