Be part of an exciting new event in the heart of Newcastle

Hold onto your cheese knives and wine glasses, folks! Bartholomew's is thrilled to spill the beans on the first-ever Newcastle Cheese & Wine Show, hitting the town on Saturday 5th October, 2024.

With the glittering Hunter Valley wine region just around the corner, it's time to showcase the region's finest (as well the best from beyond).

The event comprises of a 4-hour tasting extravaganza, with open arms for cheese and wine wizards, and everyone in-between. There will be a VIP lunch to kick off proceedings, and there are two pairing masterclasses to held during the show.

Held at the stunning Bartholomew’s, stallholders will peddle their wares to up to 350 guests.

THE VENUE

Bartholomew’s isn’t just any restaurant, it’s a destination. Taking the grandeur of Gatsby and adding a hint of 1920’s prohibition, we’ve created a unique and inviting venue not found anywhere else in Australia.

The venue itself holds up to 500 people with a mixture of intimate tables & large booths. Upstairs offers its own private bar and an amphitheatre layout offering views of the main bar.

Originally built as a Central Hall in 1903, the venue has known life as a Methodist Mission, Picture Theatre, Hatted Restaurant and Beer Hall. Now it is better known as a purveyor of the finer things, celebrating local produce, and world class beverages
