Mandala is unveiling a remarkable collection of new release wines and inviting wine lovers to experience them first-hand at an exclusive Pop-Up Cellar Door and Vintage Release Lunch

 

The three-day event celebrates the winery’s return to its original home at Yarra Junction and a renewed focus on Yarra Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — both in still and sparkling form. ​

 

Pop-up cellar door - 21st to 23rd November from 12pm to 5pm 

Guided tastings of Mandala’s newly released wines and The Independents label, alongside a curated snack menu designed to complement each glass. Visitors can drop in for a relaxed tasting or settle in for lunch, with The Independent’s full à la carte menu available throughout the weekend.

Vintage Release Lunch - Sunday 23rd November

Highlights include Vieras (lime-cured scallops), Lechon (roast sucking pig) with all the trimmings, and dulce de leche.
