At least it’s not supposed to be! In this “special edition” wine voyage, we present you with a variety of wines that have been vinified sweet using methods such as partial fermentation and fortification, as well as using grapes that are late-harvested, frozen on the vines, or infected with botrytis. Pair them with mooncakes, and tell us which you think goes best!Mooncakes? Mid-Autumn? For the benefit of those less familiar, Mid-Autumn festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the lunar calendar, where there is a full moon. Traditions pertaining to this festival include parading the streets carrying colourful lanterns, and gathering with family and friends to appreciate the moon. This gathering always features the eating of mooncakes, which are round pastries with sweet fillings of red bean or lotus paste.Tickets & EnquiriesPurchase your tickets online through Peatix to be guaranteed a seat.
