Could this be the World’s Most Remote Wine Tasting?

As official partners of the fabulous Down Under Rally, which offers cruising yacht rallies in Australia and the South Pacific each year, Greenskin Wine was shared at what could possibly be the world’s most remote wine tasting.

As part of the 2022 Beyond The Barrier Rally, rally organisers John and Leanne Hembrow, staged a Greenskin Wine Tasting afternoon at Hermit Crab Islet which is at Lihou Reef, about 330nm (610kms) ESE of Cairns in the Coral Sea Marine Park.

Rally participants were treated to a mix of Greenskin Wines which were savoured by all after a long sail out the the Outer Great Barrier Reef.

Here are some pics of this unique event. (Click on the pics to enlarge and scroll through the gallery).

If it is not the world’s most remote wine tasting, it’s sure to be the most unique!

2022 beyond the barrier rally

The ‘Beyond The Barrier Rally’ explores the Coral Sea Marine Park, which is one of Australia’s and the world’s most spectacular marine treasures. Lying off the Queensland Coast and beyond the Great Barrier Reef, from just north of Fraser Island to just south to the Torres Straits in the far north, the Coral Sea Marine Park comprises 34 reefs & 56 islets & cays and covering an area of 989,836 square kilometres is one of the world’s largest marine parks.

This seldom visited, pristine wilderness is home to a labyrinth of coral reefs, sandy cays, islets, shipwrecks and an abundance of wildlife.

“The emphasis of the rallies is providing support for participants whilst at sea and when onshore by sharing our extensive knowledge about sailing to, arriving and cruising in these destinations.

We’re excited to have a product like Greenskin Wine partnering with us as although we do not encourage or endorse drinking while at sea, we all love a sundowner to celebrate at the end of a voyage. Greenskin Wine is ideal as it is lightweight and unbreakable onboard and takes up so little space, full or empty!

Space is always limited onboard boats, and broken glass can be very dangerous, so Greenskin Wine is ideal for cruising yachties embarking on any adventures”.

John Hembrow – Rally Organiser

We would like to extend a huge thanks to John and Leanne from the Down Under Rally for partnering with us and we look forward to quenching more intrepid sailors thirsts in future rallies!
