An evening with Yalumba: Perth's must-attend wine dinner this July
Steves Nedlands · Monday 20 July · $170 per person · Presented by Yalumba wine ambassador Sam Wigan
If you've been searching for the best wine dinner Perth has on offer this winter, mark your calendar for Monday 20 July. Steve's Nedlands is partnering with Yalumba, Australia's oldest family-owned winery, for an exclusive four-course Yalumba wine dinner presented in person by Yalumba wine ambassador Sam Wigan.
What to expect at this Perth wine dinner
This isn't a casual tasting - it's a fully guided wine pairing dinner Perth diners will be talking about for months. Each of the four courses has been thoughtfully designed by the Steves kitchen to complement a specific Yalumba wine, creating a true food and wine pairing Perth experience from start to finish.
Guests arrive from 6:30pm to enjoy a selection of canapés alongside a glass of Yalumba's acclaimed 2023 Virgilius Viognier, before being seated for the main event: four courses, each paired with a different wine from one of the Barossa Valley's most celebrated producers.
Meet your host: Yalumba wine ambassador Sam Wigan
A standout feature of this Barossa wine dinner Perth event is the presence of Sam Wigan, an official Yalumba wine ambassador, who will personally guide guests through each pour. Sam brings firsthand knowledge of the Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, and Coonawarra regions where these wines are made, offering insight you simply won't find at a standard restaurant wine list.
For anyone searching for wine tasting events Perth with genuine expert involvement, this is exactly that.

Why Yalumba?

Across six generations, the Hill-Smith family has built a reputation for both heritage varieties and bold experimentation - from the iconic Viognier plantings at Virgilius to old-vine Shiraz parcels that have been tended for over a century.
