Happy Father’s Day to John

Founder, w**emaker, dad and a man who’s never been short of an idea (or an opinion!) — and we wouldn’t have him any other way.

Today we’re raising a glass to John, and to all the dads and father figures out there.

Happy Father’s Day from the Forrest team. 🤎

☀️ Summer Sunday Sessions are back!

From this Sunday, our Sunday Sessions are back every week throughout spring and summer. Think afternoons on the lawn, a glass in hand, great company and live music amongst the vines.

Kicking off the season this Father’s Day, we’re welcoming Tom Francis to Forrest for the first time. Tom puts his own fresh spin on the songs you know and love, reimagining classics and contemporary favourites with plenty of character and seriously good musicianship.

Bring Dad, bring the family, find a spot and settle in for the afternoon.

🎶 Tom Francis
📅 Sunday 6 September | 1–4pm
📍 Forrest Wines Cellar Door

Here’s to a long season of sunny Sundays. 🍷
