Clear Your Calendars – The Edinburgh Great Shiraz Challenge Is Back

Picture it. You, your complimentary wine glass, and over 250 Shiraz Wines there for the tasting.

Attention EVERYONE – Tickets for the Edinburgh Great Shiraz Challenge 2019 are on sale now. The much-loved Ed is celebrating its 150th birthday this year, and the line-up of events is set to be more fabulous than ever. Of course, this line-up includes the annual Shiraz Challenge. The highly-anticipated day is all about sampling (and purchasing) quality wines from around the world.

Picture it. You, your complimentary wine glass, and over 250 Shiraz Wines there for the tasting (we’re picturing it, and it’s pretty bloody beautiful).

With all the wine tasting that will inevitably occur, the Ed is aware you’ll need piping hot coffee and something scrumptious to nibble on. There will be a coffee cart available from 9am, along with breakfast to set you up for the day. Throughout the day, you’ll be able to grab something to eat from the all-day tapas menu by Cargo Catering in the marquee. 

The Great Shiraz Challenge is first in, first-served. Phone now or turn up in person to grab your tickets before they (inevitably) sell out. T

Another perk is the twelve fantastic prizes to be won on the day (in-between tasting the delicious Shiraz).

Purchase 6 bottles on the day for your chance to win:

• 1 of the top 100 wines
• 10 chances to win 12 bottles of wine

Vote for your favourite wines for a chance to win the top 40 wines on the day as voted by you.

Tickets for the Edinburgh Great Shiraz Challenge are $60 and include your glass & a catalogue of the wines available.

When: Sunday June 30, 11 – 4pm

Where: The Edinburgh Hotel and Cellars
