In vino veritas (in wine there is truth) – it's an adage as old as Bacchus – and the truth is epicureans will be left with an indelible impression on their palates as the finest of Australian wines is also showcased.
The history of wine dates back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. It is even written that Jesus turned water into wine for a wedding feast – but don't expect such holy happenings here!
