Events hosted by Hugh Hamilton Wines are an experience not to be missed! Our Black Sheep Club family have access to exclusive behind-the-scenes events. Get out in the vineyard with ‘Shearing the Vines’ or bottle your own Shiraz at ‘Barrel to Bottle’. Just another benefit for our favourite group of rascals and reprobates!

SHEARING THE VINES
A unique opportunity to hand-shear some of our most prized grapes on our Black Sheep Vineyard in McLaren Vale.
BLACK SHEEP LET LOOSE
This winter, we’re taking the world of the Black Sheep to our Black Sheep Club members across Australia. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, drink some new and interesting wines and, of course, wine and dine with Hugh, Mary and Pam.
BARREL TO BOTTLE
Our Black Sheep Club members are invited behind the scenes with Hugh and Mary to explore the influences of oak. We explore three barrels of an identical parcel of Shiraz from our Cellar Vineyard, each of which has been resting in the finest, new oak from a different French Cooperage. Our members then hand bottle and label Shiraz direct from the barrel.
CORNUCOPIACATION
Our Black Sheep Vineyard in an earlier life was called Cornucopia, due to an abundance of different fruit trees.
Cornucopiacation combines education, a hands-on harvesting experience, fine dining and being part of the creation of an Amarone style Shiraz from our 111-year-old vines. It is a day of abundance, experiencing the atmosphere of vintage with your clients, company, or social group.
CHRISTMAS SALE
Every Christmas we invite our members to enjoy a festive drink with Pam, myself and the team and stock up on the essentials (wine!) to share amongst friends and family over the ‘Black Sheep’ Season.
BLACK BLOOD LAUNCH
Join us on a fascinating journey of the senses.
Prepare to get your eyes, ears, fingers, nose and tastes buds into top gear to experience some of the best McLaren Vale Shiraz when we introduce you to the Black Blood series.
PURE BLACK DINNER
The story began nearly two centuries ago when the Hamilton family planted grape vines in South Australia in 1837 and made the first wine in the colony. ‘Pure Black’ Shiraz, our icon wine, carries the Hamilton family story into the 6th generation.
Pure Black is an invitation-only event and occurs in line with the release of next ‘Pure Black’ vintage.
