EVENTS AT
THE ESTATE
Curated moments to gather, taste and mark the year at Fraser Gallop Estate.
A PLACE TO GATHER
THE YEAR AT FRASER GALLOP ESTATE
Our estate has always been a place for people who seek wine out rather than wait for it to shout. Throughout the year, we open the cellar, the terrace and the vineyard for a handful of curated events — intimate tastings of back vintages, seasonal lunches, and private gatherings shaped by the place itself.

ANNUAL EVENT
SAT 30 AND SUN 31 MAY 2026
10am to 4pm both days
BEHIND THE BARREL
The barrel hall doesn’t often open to guests. Over the WA Day long weekend, it will.
Behind the Barrel is the one weekend in the year we dig deep into the cellar. We’ll open museum wines and large-format vintages, drinking at their best, bottles we’ve watched come into themselves, held back season after season. It’s something few wineries do, and for us, one of the weekends we look forward to most.
Every vintage we open is available to purchase on the day, in single bottles or by the case. Come for a while, taste your way through the line-up, and take a piece of Fraser Gallop history home with you.
The Charcoal Chef food truck will be on site both days from 11am.
No bookings, no entry fee, just arrive when it suits.
Can’t make it? We always have a small selection of museum vintages available year-round via our cellar door or online.
WINE CLUB
SAT 15 AUG 2026
PALLADIAN LUNCH
Each winter, we set eighteen places in the private dining room for a long lunch built entirely around our Palladian wines, the estate’s most considered bottlings, from the oldest and lowest-yielding blocks of the vineyard.
Paul Salmeri of Sal’s Pasta Deli in Cottesloe returns to Fraser Gallop Estate to cook for us again this year. His food — handmade, generous, grounded in ingredients — is the kind that meets the Palladian wines on their own terms. Courses are paired by our team and poured across the table.
Nigel Gallop and Ellin Tritt host throughout the afternoon, talking through the vintages we’re drinking, the blocks they came from, and the decisions behind each wine. It’s a closer look at how the Palladian range is made, told by the people who make it.
This event is held once a year, open to Parterre and Palladian Club members only, and capped at eighteen seats.
PAIR'D FESTIVAL
FRI 20 NOV 2026
LONG LUNCH WITH PAIR'D
For Pair’d Festival, we raise a marquee on the lawn in front of Gallop House and set a long table beneath it. It’s one of the few times in the year we open the house lawn to the public, and the setting does most of the work.
A three-course lunch is poured with our Parterre and Palladian wines from our single-vineyard range throughout the afternoon. Live jazz plays through the lunch, and the pace is slow by design: this is the middle of the festival weekend, not a tasting.
Tickets are sold through Pair’d Festival and include return bus transport from central booking points, so you can taste freely and leave the driving to someone else.
Our Wine Club members receive a pre-sale link before tickets open to the public.
WINE CLUB
SAT 13 FEB 2027
SUNSET ON THE TERRACE
Every February we open the terrace for an afternoon to mark the start of vintage. The fruit is usually just beginning to come in, the evenings are long, and the estate is at its best — warm light, a breeze off the vineyard, and the year’s wines only weeks away from pressing.
From 4 until 7pm we pour our Parterre wines alongside canapés from the kitchen. It’s not a seated event and it’s not a tasting — it’s an afternoon on the terrace with the people who love our wines most.
Sunset on the Terrace is a Wine Club event. Members can purchase tickets for friends and guests, and many of our members return year after year — often with a larger group than the year before. We arrange return bus transport from central pick-up points so you can share a glass freely and leave the drive behind.
