The “Merric” from Merrick and Rosso. Mez, as he is affectionately known, has worked at almost every radio and TV station in the country. You might have seen him recently getting smashed in the face on SAS Australia, Australia’s REAL reality show. Mez loves wine, so much so that he’s a qualified sommelier, with dreams of retiring to a big Chesterfield, smoking a cigar and drinking Cabernet.

If Grapes of Mirth falls in a Vineyard and DJ Pedro Moshman isn’t there to pick us up and get us dancing, did GoM really ever happen? No, it did not. No Pedro, No Party.

Experiences

Plenty of space for everyone!

This year we’ve moved to the showground, to ensure that everyone has plenty of space to remain socially distanced. So, bring your chair or picnic rug, grab your spot, and set yourself up for a day of laughs and wine.

Food glorious food

No shortage of food suppliers this year, with a couple of our favourite locals, Factory Espresso getting involved, Pho Orange, and Enjoy Orange Getaway Packages.

Plenty of wine to choose from

This year we’ll be joined by two Orange wine producers, Cumulus High Altitude Vineyards, and See Saw Organic Wine. Well have everything from Rosé, to Sparkling Prosecco, and your cool climate favourites of Pinot Noir and Shiraz.

DJ Pedrom Moshman

Pedro is back! We’re brining our travelling DJ with us, and although dancing might be restricted, his sweet tunes will keep our ears entertained throughout the day between comedy sets.
