Music and Wine. Both art forms in their own way. Musica Viva Australia has been fortunate to have the opportunity to bring this classic pairing together many times throughout the 2024 season –thanks to our partnerships with three leading Australian wineries: Huntington Estate, Chalk Hill Wines and Driftwood Estate. All three are made up of dedicated craftspeople and artisans who share a great passion for the arts. And as we approach the holiday season, they would also like to share some festive generosity with fellow music lovers.

Established in 1969, Huntington Estate is now one of the oldest and most celebrated wineries in the Mudgee, NSW region. A top-rated 5 Red Star Winery, winner of 150+ trophies, plus countless gold and silver medals, we are delighted to have them as our principal wine partner for events across the Eastern States. 

Founder and winemaker Tim Stevens says, “Our longstanding relationship with Musica Viva Australia is one of our most important. We have been involved in wine and music for decades. I believe Musica Viva Australia is the most important music organisation in Australia; it has fostered countless artists and inspired so many generations of audiences. Its influence is like our wines – just keeps getting better with age.”

Huntington Estate have a generous offer for Musica Viva Australia audiences:

  • 25% off a case

  • 40% off two or more cases 

  • 50% off a pre-mixed case of Halliday gold medal winners

This offer is valid until 31 December. 

In 2024 we welcomed two new partners, both award-winning wine makers: Chalk Hill from South Australia’s McLaren Vale, and Driftwood Wines in the renowned Margaret River region of Western Australia.

Chalk Hill Wines is a family-owned winery dedicated to producing small batch, hand crafted wines of distinction, since 1964. They have six unique vineyards throughout McLaren Vale, which are purposefully planted with varieties that best reflect varietal and regional character. Tom Harvey carries on the family tradition and continues to champion the McLaren Vale legacy through award-winning wines and critical acclaim including extraordinary reviews from Australian wine icon, James Halliday.


As part of their partnership with Musica Viva Australia, Chalk Hill is offering:

  • 10% off full-priced wine purchase online or in person at the cellar door
  • Complimentary Chalk Hill tasting for up to 4 guests

To buy wine or book a tasting, visit their website, https://www.chalkhillwines.com.au/ and use the code MVACHALKHILL. This offer is valid until 2 March 2025.

Further westward, Driftwood Wines is located in the Wilyabrup region of Margaret River, Western Australia. With multiple awards and a 5-Star Winery rating, Driftwood wines are known for their complexity and maturity. Winemaker Kane Gove strives to capture the personality and individual expression from each batch of fruit – curating the wines and styles he believes will continue Driftwood’s reputation as one of Margaret River’s premium wine producers. If you’re planning a visit to the region, please tell them we said hi!

We sincerely thank Huntington Estate, Chalk Hill Wines, and Driftwood Wines for their ongoing support towards the work of Musica Viva Australia.
