***GARTELMANN WINES CHARITY GOLF DAY ***

We’re doing it again… and you’re invited!

After such a cracking day last year, the Gartelmann Wines Annual Charity Golf Day is back on Friday 12th June 2026 at Rydges Resort Hunter Valley.
It’s a day of good golf (or at least good attempts), great wine, and even better company — all while supporting the legends at the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service 🚁

Here’s what you’re in for:

🏌️‍♂️ 18 holes + cart
🍔 Food and snacks on course
🍷 Wine tastings along the way
🍺 Post-game beer tasting
…basically, everything you need for an epic day out

Want to keep the good times rolling?

Stick around for our optional dinner & Jazz Night — amazing food, matched wines, and a pretty solid excuse to not go home early.

Still not done?

Back it up with our Saturday morning recovery breakfast at Gartelmann Wines & The Deck Cafe Lovedale. You’ll thank us later.

Make a weekend of it and stay & play at Rydges Resort Hunter Valley — special rates available using our code.

🎟️ Grab your spot now: www.gartelmann.com.au

Get your mates together, dust off the clubs, and come have a laugh — all for a bloody good cause.
