Fireside nights & flavourful bites

A winter series of connection, comfort and culinary magic at Lazy Oak Wines

There’s something undeniably special about winter in wine country - the crisp country air, the glow of an open fire, the hum of live music and the joy of shared plates paired with exceptional wines. This season, Lazy Oak invites you to embrace the chill and gather around the warmth with a carefully curated series of events designed to ignite your senses and feed your soul. Whether you’re looking for casual vineyard vibes, flame-cooked indulgence, or family fun with heart, there’s a fireside moment waiting for you.

Drinks at Dusk

Every Friday night, 6pm - 10pm

Ease into the weekend with Drinks at Dusk - Lazy Oak’s relaxed weekly ritual where wine flows, music plays, and the vineyard glows under the twilight sky. Sip on award-winning wines or local beers, graze from a menu of artisan pizzas and tapas, and sink into the laid-back rhythm of Friday night in the vines. With charcuterie boards to share, chilled beats in the background, and space for the kids to roam, it’s the kind of night that feels like a getaway - even if you’re local.

Barrels & Bands

Saturday 6th June

Celebrate all things bold, brewed and barrel-aged at Barrels & Bands - Lazy Oak’s unmissable autumn event. Spend the afternoon and evening soaking up the sounds of three incredible local bands, sipping on wine, whisky, beer and cocktails served straight from the barrel. With a mouth-watering lineup of food trucks and local vendors ready to keep you fuelled, it’s the ultimate blend of music, flavour and good times in the vines. Gather your crew, bring a picnic rug, and settle in for a day of toe-tapping, glass-clinking fun.

Fireside Tapas

Saturday 21st June & Saturday 26th July

As the sun dips behind the vines, the flames take centre stage. At Fireside Tapas, guest chef, Andy Crestani (Ember Dining and Millbrie Café) brings the art of open-flame cooking to life, turning simple local ingredients into bold, flavour-packed tapas right before your eyes. Gather under the stars and watch as fire transforms every dish, igniting your palate and your sense of connection to the land. This isn’t just dinner - it’s storytelling through food, created with smoke, spice and soul.

Fire & Spice

Saturday 5th July

End winter with a bang at Lazy Oak’s most fiery celebration of the season. Fire & Spice is where bold flavours, epic beats and good vibes collide. From tacos and sizzling paella to spicy pizza and nachos, this night is all about food that brings the heat. Add wine, beer and crowd-favourite margaritas to the mix, throw in the Steel City Rockers (a five-piece band from Newcastle) and you’ve got yourself a seriously tasty party.
With fire pits blazing and the vineyard as your backdrop, it’s the perfect way to farewell winter in style.
