Buy HamperNever let it be said we don’t enjoy a party. For almost ten years, we’ve been loved for unique events that are sometimes a bit out there and always a lot of fun — like cheesemaking workshops, Sunday yoga and brunch, cabaret shows and comedy debates. Whether you’re a local or travelling to the region, keep an eye on our events calendar for guaranteed good times.
And if you fall in love with the place and our cool-climate wines as much as we have, talk to us about hosting an event for you. We cater all kinds, whether it’s corporate hospitality, a birthday, a hen’s party or an anniversary dinner. Our modern Australian menu uses ingredients sourced from local producers, chosen to complement our local wines beautifully. We’ll give your guests and you plenty to rave about and remember. Reach out to events@contentiouscharacter.com.au to get planning.
