Wine & Music at Trentham
Join us in the forecourt Marquee at Trentham for live music between races and where we have a great selection of wineries showing off what they do best. Whether you want a "taste", a glass, or even want to share a bottle between friends while listening to the music before heading to the rail to watch the racing, this is the place to be!
