Lions hold wine tasting function

Woy Woy Lions Rugby Union Club will hold a fundraising wine tasting this August.

The "Sensational Wine Festival" will be held at the Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club from 2pm to 6pm on Sunday, August 20.

The wine tasting function will be hosted by the McLeish family from McLeish Estate Wines.

Club event organiser Ms Robyn Brown said: "Woy Woy Rugby have been fortunate in having Bob and Maryanne McLeish and their daughter Jessica as major sponsors of the club for the past six years,"

"Their generous contributions have been greatly appreciated and most welcome with their emphasis on community spirit and a family friendly club," she said.

"Their sponsorship allows Woy Woy Rugby Union to ensure that approximately 160 juniors are involved in various age divisions, from under sevens to under 17s, which allows the Woy Woy Lions to encourage and tutor this valued asset," Ms Brown said.

"Since 1985, Bob and Maryanne McLeish have been developing viticulture on their estate in Pokolbin which has resulted in the opening of their cellar door to the public surrounded by 11 hectares of vineyard," she said.

The wine tasting will be a ticketed event and anyone interested should contact the club for tickets by August 15.
