VISIT US
AT THE WINE SHED
The Black & Ginger Wine Shed is a laid-back, eclectic hideaway for wine lovers and wanderers alike. Located next door to Barney’s Bar & Bistro in Pomonal, it’s a space where vintage charm meets a relaxed country vibe — and there’s a cosy corner (and a cracking wine) waiting for you.
Pull up a chair for a wine tasting, sink into a comfy lounge with a book, or challenge your mates to a board game over a glass of small-batch vino. When the sun’s out, head outdoors — the perfect spot to sip, snack and soak up the Grampians.
Whether you’re a local looking for a new favourite hangout or a Grampians traveller after something a little different, the Wine Shed is all about great wine, local beer, good company and good times.
We offer a small, curated range of tasting experiences — relaxed, flexible and genuinely enjoyable. Everything we do is about exploration, conversation and making wine feel approachable, whether you’re popping in for a tasting or settling in for a special event.
Children welcome, but, not encouraged. Dogs, however, are always welcome — inside (when food is not being served) and outside all year round.
Interested in a special event? Check out our Events page for what’s coming up.
A Public Holiday surcharge is applied to all in-house purchases on gazetted public holidays to cover the additional cost of trading on those days. Visit our Terms of Service page for further information.

Sip Your Way
POUR SIP & ENJOY!
What it is?
Sip Your Way is Black & Ginger’s signature tasting experience, giving you the freedom to choose three or six wines and explore them at your own pace.
Who it’s for?
Perfect for first-time visitors, curious wine drinkers, couples, and small groups who want flexibility rather than a scripted tasting.
What’s included?
Your chosen wines are served as 100ml pours in individual mini decanters, designed to share.
Duration
Flexible — enjoy at your own pace.
Why it’s different?
There’s no fixed order and no pressure. Sip Your Way is about discovery, conversation, and finding the wines you love, your way. You get to pick the wines, or we can help guide you.

THREE WINES (300ml) = $30
SIX WINES (600ml) = $50

What it is?
Jam & Juice is a wine and music pairing experience that brings sound and flavour together in a playful, immersive way.
Who it’s for?
Ideal for music lovers, creative thinkers, and anyone looking for a tasting experience that’s a little left of centre.
What’s included?
Choose four wines, 50ml pours, each paired with curated playlists accessed via QR code or if you enjoy a tactile experience, with one of our discmans. Headphones are provided so you can fully sink into the experience.
Duration?
Approximately 45–60 minutes.
Why it’s different?
Jam & Juice adds an emotional and sensory layer to wine tasting, inviting you to experience flavour through mood, rhythm, and sound.

Events
EVENTS IN OUR HOOD & YOURS!
What it is?
In addition to tastings, Black & Ginger hosts a rotating program of events at the Wine Shed, along with select offsite collaborations and festival appearances.
Who it’s for?
Great for locals, visitors, and groups who enjoy wine as part of a shared experience.
What’s included?
Events vary and may include themed tastings, wine dinners, creative workshops, and community-focused gatherings. Boardgames, Karaoke, and knitting afternoons are all regular features on our calendar.
Duration?
Event-dependent.
Why it’s different?
Events are designed to feel welcoming, relaxed, and rooted in place — with wine as the connector, not the centre of attention.
What is the cost?
Many events are free to attend with bookings required to secure a place. Dinners and offsite events may incur a charge.
Do you need accommodation for your visit?
Hounds Run Vineyard, Tiny House is the home of Black & Ginger Wines.
Private Vineyard Retreat — Off-Grid Tiny House with 360° Views
Sit at the top of the vineyard as the vines turn gold and the Grampians range stretches to the horizon. Watch the sun set over the Black Ranges with a glass of Lucy’s Rosé or Lily’s Block Shiraz both of which are produced with Hounds Run fruit. This is Hounds Run in autumn — and there is nowhere else quite like it.
As darkness falls, the vineyard reveals one of its most magical features — spectacular dark night skies perfect for stargazing. More than just accommodation, Hounds Run offers couples a tiny house vineyard and farm stay experience — playful, memorable and completely unique.
