Tastings

Vino Fino runs weekly wine tastings most Tuesdays at 6.00 pm at our Christchurch store on Durham Street.

Imagine arriving at a winery cellar door and being welcomed straight into a guided tasting, complete with the “top shelf” wines and perhaps even a little something special from “out the back”. Hosted by the winemaker, marketing manager, or even the owner themselves, you get the inside story on the people, the place, and the wine.

Sounds special? That’s exactly the experience you can expect at our Vino Fino tastings, whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned regular.

Bookings (email or in person – sorry not online) are required for these – Credit card details required at the time of booking, with payment on the night.

Please advise if not attending as we usually have a waiting list.

Note we accept cancellations up until 5pm the day before the tasting, otherwise, the card will be charged for any “no shows” Thank you.

Date: Tuesday 14th July 2026
Time: 6.00pm
Cost: $20
Where: Vino Fino, 188 Durham St
Bookings: Please email [email protected] or phone 03 3655134

Chaffey Brothers is a relatively new generation winery in the Barossa, but with roots in the region going back generations. Utilising classic old vine grapes with small batch winemaking, they produce wines that are very contemporary in style.

Last year, winemaker Huon Fechner hosted what was a ‘highlight of the year’ tasting, so we just had to get him back. From the quirky and delightful, like the Not Your Grandma’s Rosé and Dufte Punk white blend through to the multi-award-winning premium Elijah Shiraz. These are wines that shine a slightly different light on the Barossa, and if last year’s reaction is anything to go by – you’ll be impressed.

Cost: $40 – Payment required at time of booking
Where: Vino Fino, 188 Durham St
