Atika Wines was thrilled to launch our Atika Arts Initiative program for 2017 in January with 2 sold our performances of “Shrouded in Silence”. We are very pleased to be hosting another Atika Arts Initiative event with the Tony Gould Trio on Saturday 2^nd December, 3pm at Atika vineyard in Healesville. Details of the trio are below and be assured that the caliber of this trio is second to none. As this will be an intimate home event, concert numbers will be strictly limited. All bookings are through the Atika website so don’t miss out book your tickets today.

An afternoon of jazz at Atika Vineyard: “Jazz goes to the Movies” with the Tony Gould Trio

Pianist, composer and educator Tony Gould has received many accolades for his contribution to music in Australia – in 2008 he was awarded an Order of Australia (AM).

Tony is much in demand and has performed with many great artists and orchestras both in Australia and overseas. He is probably best known as a great jazz pianist, but is equally comfortable playing classical and other musical genres and enjoys bringing his love of all music to his performances. 

Tony is happiest when playing with close friends in intimate settings and this musical afternoon at Atika Wines vineyards will provide the perfect setting both for Tony’s trio and the audience.

Accompanying Tony are master bassist Ben Robertson and drummer Graham Morris.

We were thrilled to launch our Atika Arts Initiative program for 2017 with 2 performances of “Shrouded in Silence” last month on the rooftop at Tonic House in Flinders Lane, Melbourne. They were a great success with over 130 people attending.

The Atika Arts Initiative is committed to promoting the creative arts and the development of emerging writers, actors, composers and musicians. We have a number of exciting events planned for 2017 so sign up to our newsletter to be the first to find out.

The winners of the highly regarded International Wine Challenge in London have been released. We’re thrilled to announce that both the Atika wines submitted (2009 Tempranillo and 2010 Chardonnay) received Bronze medals in the challenge! Also, the Atika Temp was the only non-Spanish grown wine to be placed in its section. Look out Spain!

In the coming months, Atika will also sponsor the Personality of Good Food events at Bella Vedere restaurant. The Personality of Good Food is a collaborative project by Damien Pleming and Bella Vedere which is designed to celebrate the people behind all of Bella Vedere’s supplies – people like us! Damien Pleming’s portrait of Atika’s Phillip Taylor (right) will be featured in this exhibition.

The vines, as always, continue to soldier on despite our most recent heat wave!

It’s all about fast and furious shoot growth in the vineyard during November! If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the beautiful new growth on our Tempranillo vine to your right! In the past few weeks we’ve been lifting wires to ensure the vines remain stable during this phase of growth, whilst keeping a watchful eye on the weeds – all to ensure the vines are in tip-top shape for the coming phase of Flowering!

We’d like to extend a huge thank-you to Altair restaurant for the part it played in last month’s phenomenal Atika Wines dinner! Executive Chef, Kelvin Shaw, both surprised and delighted our guests with his incredible creations that perfectly complemented our stable of Atika wines. It was a pleasure to join with such a dynamic and professional team to create such an extraordinary event!
