Let the bells ring out as Wirra Wirra heads to a city near you

The Wirra Wirra tribe is packing up its wine, printing the tasting notes and departing picturesque McLaren Vale to head on a road trip for its much anticipated Bell Ringer Dinners 2011, which will take in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and for the first time they are heading west to Perth.

Bell Ringer Dinners only come around every couple of years and are a chance for people to enjoy wonderful food and drink at some of Australia’s premier restaurants. This year’s dinners will feature Wirra Wirra new release wines, including the 2009 The Angelus Cabernet Sauvignon, and a couple of old wines from the depths of the Wirra Wirra museum.

Wirra Wirra Managing Director Andrew Kay will be leading the convoy with Senior Winemaker Paul Smith to each city ready to take the Bell Ringers through each wine and to have a lot of fun too.

“It would be great to see as many of our Bell Ringer members but also anyone who is interested in having a night filled with great food and wine, with like-minded wine and food lovers,” Kay said.

The Bell Ringers are named after the famous Angelus bell that sits atop the ironstone cellars of Wirra Wirra at McLaren Vale.
