Drinking wine out of a sack can always be justified for charity, right?

A celebration ofthe humble yet iconic Australian goon bag is long overdue. Luckily, the Lord Gladstone Hotel feels the same way, and has decided to host Boxfest: A Festival of the Goon Bag, an event that will surely leave your tastebuds pleased and your head throbbing the following morning.

The event will be featuring Yalumba, Stanley, Berry and Romano casks, giving you the pick of goon bag flavour territory. All the money raised from the $1 tasting tokens will go towards charity.

With good goon, good music and a good cause, what more could you ask for?
