Member Event: Cheese & Wine Night

Start · End 4:00 pm · 6:00 pm
Cheese, wine and a Sunday afternoon in Alphington
Sunday 8 November, 4 to 7pm
District Bottle Store, 80 Grange Road, Alphington (link to Google Maps)
Bookings close Sunday 1 November, or when sold out
Four local wines, a table of local cheese, and an afternoon with people who love getting outside. No hills involved.
From 4 to 6pm, Nick and the team at District Bottle Store will pour a guided tasting of four wines, and Daniel from Dreaming Goat Dairy, a small family farm in the Macedon Ranges, will talk us through his cheeses: how they're made, what to look for and why they work with each wine. Then we'll share pizza, and the bar stays open until 7pm for anyone who wants to settle in for another glass.
Come with a friend, or come on your own and leave knowing a room full of people you'll probably end up walking with.

Shhh it's also Adrian's Birthday.

New to Take Shape? This is the best way to meet us
If you've been watching our walks and trips and wondering what the people are like, this is your answer. You'll meet the guides, the members and the crew who've just come back from Bhutan, and you'll hear what's coming up next, all over a glass of wine with no pressure.
Members pay $30 less for this afternoon, and that's just one small perk of membership:
  • A free hike every month, or unlimited hikes if you're out with us regularly
  • Member pricing on events like this one
  • Early access to our bigger adventures
  • A community that keeps you moving toward the things you want to do4
