Image supplied15 years since it was last hosted in Sydney, founding Margaret River winery Cape Mentelle is bringing its International Cabernet Tasting back to the east coast on Friday 16 October. Tickets for the event are now on sale on the Cape Mentelle website for $750 per person. “I’m excited to bring this much-loved wine tasting experience back to Sydney for the first time since 2011,” said Cape Mentelle chief of winemaking and viticulture David Moulton. While the exact lineup for 2026 remains a secret until the final reveal on the day, organisers said guests can anticipate “an exceptional showcase of benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon”. The Cape Mentelle International Cabernet Tasting is one of Australia’s longest running international wine benchmark tastings, established in 1982 by Cape Mentelle founder David Hohnen.
