In Boxties Among the Bottles, the Boxties and sommelier Olivia Evans come together to take you on a sensory journey, featuring notes both of song and of wine.
Together, we’ve developed an intimate show – part wine tasting, part concert – that explores the sounds, flavours, memories and emotions evoked by good music and good wine.
We’re bringing those two worlds together in partnership with some of Brisbane’s best bottle shops – places that can inspire us on our wine journey.
Apart from being a wine writer, wine judge, and former Sommelier at the award-winning Fleet Restaurant in Brunswick Heads, Olivia is a great storyteller, an entertaining host, and the Boxties’ perfect artistic partner.
We’re excited to kick off this series with Barrels and Stills, a boutique retailer that has not only a fabulous collection of fine wines, but also beers, spirits and quality deli provisions - even books!
So, if you’re interested in a relaxing afternoon of wine and music, join us there, among the bottles.

In Good Company with Olivia Evans is back!
This is no ordinary wine tasting, this is no ordinary concert.
It’s an artistic collaboration between the Boxties and Olivia Evans, one of Australia’s finest wine professionals, in which a selection of wines is paired with a musical journey - bringing two sensory worlds together.
The wine selection is Olivia’s response to the emotions, moods, images and stories evoked by the Boxties’ music.
Apart from being a wine writer, wine judge, and former Sommelier at the award-winning Fleet Restaurant in Brunswick Heads, Olivia is also a great storyteller. Thus, she’s not only an entertaining host, but also the Boxties’ perfect artistic partner.
We’re bringing the show to a new venue, Marcia’s on Montague in West End - Brisbane’s largest homewares, gifts and organic food shop.
Marcia’s is a fabulous place to browse - it’s full of delights - so we’re starting with a Sip-and-Shop!
On arrival, you’ll be greeted with the first wine of the tasting and, if you feel so inclined, you’re invited to explore the treasures waiting to be discovered in every room. If something does take your fancy, you’ll be treated to 10% off everything in store.
Then it’s on with the show and a relaxing afternoon spent exploring music and wine - two of the best things in life.
