Partake in an Aboriginal Storytelling and Wine Tasting Experience

For an immersive insight into Aboriginal culture and traditions, Firescreek Botanical Winery in Holgate hosts authentic experiences led by an Elder. An incredible journey marries ancient wisdom with award-winning fruit wines; discover what lies in store at this enriching and enlightening morning out.

What can you expect from the Firescreek Aboriginal Storytelling and Wine Tasting Experience?

Held on the idyllic grounds of Firescreek winery, the Aboriginal Storytelling and Wine Tasting Experience will unfold over 90 minutes. Met by an Aboriginal Elder, you will feel enchanted by their art of storytelling and learn about their rich heritage and traditions. Feel soothed by the vibrations of a digeridoo and enlivened by the sound of a clapping stick.

After examining Aboriginal tools and artefacts, an Elder will introduce you to seasonal native Australian plants from a coolamon bowl which you can taste. Alongside them, Firescreek’s winemaker is also on hand to show you the amazing botanicals and flora that go into making their wines. Not made with grapes, Firescreek’s unique wines are lovingly crafted with fruit like Tasmanian blueberries, apples and nectarines and then infused with botanicals such as violet, elderflower and lavender.

What else does Firescreek winery offer?

Firescreek makes a wonderous day out for the entire family. You’re welcome to visit its cellar door to sample and buy small-batch vintages, but its Firescreek’s experiences are where the fun really begins. If you fancy sourcing and picking pretty cocktail garnishes before sipping them from antique glassware, book the Foraging and Mixology workshop. You’ll comb through the organic gardens, get a guided wine tasting and be given everything you need to blend and prepare mini mimosas and baby Bellinis.

Got a sweet tooth? Reserve a spot on the Chocolate & Wine Pairing experience. On this you’ll savour four handmade chocolates perfectly paired with Firescreek’s signature tipples.

What else is there to see and do around the Central Coast?
