Wine tasting for music festival

A wine tasting will be held on Friday, March 22, from 5pm to 7pm at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall to celebrate the 20th Pearl Beach Music Festival which will be held over the June long weekend.

"This is a huge and consistent commitment by the Pearl Beach Community to the arts," said Pearl Beach Progress Association communications officer Ms Lynne Lillico.

"The Festival also continues to be an occasion that brings our community together to enjoy great music.

"To celebrate the 20th Music Festival, we have secured a great deal on two premium wines from a family owned Coonawarra winery, and we would like to make these available for a community tasting and to purchase."

Wine expert and judge John Parkinson will introduce the wine, said Ms Lillico.

Ticket sales for the Festival will be launched at the wine tasting, including the Early Bird four concert package.

"Entertainment will be provided by students from the Central Coast Conservatorium, and it promises to be a great evening," said Ms Lillico.

Cost is $10 per person and proceeds from the evening and the wine sales will go to the Pearl Beach Progress Association toward landscaping of the Memorial Hall grounds.
