Ridgemill Estate ‘Pick Crush Plunge’ Experience

Overview

Step into vintage 2026 with winemaker Peter McGlashan, who has spent over 21 years crafting ridgemill estate’s finest wines.

This hands on experience lets you pick grapes, stomp through the crush, plunge an active red wine ferment and deepen your understanding and appreciation for the science behind turning grapes into wine, all while learning from a true winemaking expert.

This small group experience keeps you close to the action, asking questions, getting involved and seeing what winemakers really do.

The experience concludes with a beautiful three course twilight dinner hosted by estate owners Martin & Michelle.

Set to the theme ‘Under the Tuscan Sky’ and overlooking the estate, the table is laid with seasonal local produce, thoughtfully paired with ridgemill estate wines. It’s an intimate and memorable way to reflect on the day’s achievements and raise a glass to the vintage you’ve helped bring to life.

As a lasting memento and perfect reminder of your day in the vineyard, you’ll also receive a bottle of the Pick Crush Plunge wine once it’s released.
