Grape To Glass | Highgate • Pinot Party with L'appel Wines

Drink Wine. Have Fun! 🍷🔥

For one night only, our friends L'appel Wines are taking over Le Vivant in Highgate for an evening of incredible wine, delicious snacks and good company.

Join owners and winemakers Bart Johnston & Jess Nuel as they take you on a Pinot adventure through Tasmania, pouring a curated lineup that showcases fruit from some of the island's most exciting regions. Discover why Tassie has become Australia's Pinot Noir capital, and how every vineyard leaves its mark on the glass.

Expect generous pours, snacks from the Le Vivant kitchen, and a relaxed, social vibe that's more like catching up with friends over a great bottle than a formal wine tasting. 🍇✨

Winemaker

• L'appel Wines (TAS)

L'appel Wines is the passion project of Tasmanian vignerons Bart Johnston and Jess Nuel, dedicated to expressing the unique character of Tasmania's finest wine regions. Sourcing fruit from premium vineyards across the Tamar Valley, Huon Valley, Coal Valley and East Coast, their wines are a true reflection of place. Bart's experience working in the Mornington Peninsula, Oregon, Burgundy and the Languedoc has shaped a thoughtful, minimal intervention approach. Wild fermented, unfiltered and carefully matured, each wine celebrates vineyard, vintage and regional identity, with a focus on purity, balance and exceptional Pinot Noir.
