About this Event
Explore perfect pairing of McLaren Vale wines with sustainable Australian produce with passionate host and expert Sandra at Whitebark Bar in West Melbourne!
Guided by sommelier and owner Sandra Petrovski, explore a handpicked selection of five boutique McLaren Vale regional wines with perfectly paired bites featuring Australian produce focusing on sustainable proteins and balanced with the vibrant flavours of local herbs, native greens, and wild botanicals.
Throughout the evening, we will explore a curated selection of the region’s finest from Shiraz to Grenache. The region is characterised by a warm, Mediterranean climate with cooling maritime influences, allowing for both powerful, high-alcohol reds and more refined, cooler-climate styles.

MEET SOMMELIER HOST - SANDRA PETROVSKI
My name is Sandra Petrovski and I've been in the wine industry now for 10 years. My love for wine started in Toronto in 2016, where I was fortunate enough to work at a small local wine bar focused on seasonal produce through a tasting menu and wines to match. I also started some formal wine training through the Court of Masters and WSET programs. I then came back to Australia in 2018 and continued my studies alongside various sommelier roles. In 2023, my partner and I opened up Whitebark from a love of Australian and NZ produce and sustainability.
