Between the Wines & the Lines: Where great books meet beautiful wines

With Millie Blackwell of Mrs Blackwell’s Village Bookshop and Jane Cooper of Alexia Urban Winery

Join us at Alexia Urban Winery for an afternoon where fine wine meets captivating writing. Winemaker Jane Cooper will be in conversation with Mrs Blackwells Village Bookshop owner Millie Blackwell, exploring the art of matching books to wine.

Jane will present four Alexia wines, each showcasing a different style and story in the glass. To complement each pour, Millie will introduce both a fiction and a non-fiction title chosen to echo the wine’s character and mood, weaving together taste, aroma, and narrative.

Traversing wine styles and literary genres in a fun, informative, and informal atmosphere, it’s an afternoon designed to open minds to new reading discoveries and unexpected wine favourites.

Participants will leave with a fresh appreciation for how beautifully books and wine can complement one another — and perhaps with a new bottle and a new book to enjoy at home.

Inclusions: Event ticket includes all tasting pours. Books and wines discussed will also be available to purchase to take home.

  • Doors open at 1.45pm for a 2pm start. Dress warmly, we are in the cellar!

  • Your ‘order confirmed email’ is your ticket on the day, just show this to get in.

  • Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to another person.

  • No door sales.

  • This is an 18+ event.
