MELBOURNE DUMPLING SOCIAL

Find out where the next dumpling social will pop up!

Dumpling Social (水餃趴): A gathering of individuals who share a mutual appreciation for dumplings, delicious drinks and a bit of banter.

Dumpling Social 2026 has been locked in…!

If you love dumplings and good wine, this one’s for you. Spend a sunny afternoon at Jamsheed Winery in Preston folding Taiwanese-style dumplings, sharing conversation and enjoying wine at your own pace, surrounded by people who simply love good food and good company.

Cristina will take you through her mum’s much-loved dumpling recipe — one that’s been folded, pleated and shared more times than she can count. You’ll get hands-on from the start, shaping your own dumplings and enjoying them hot from the pan once they’re cooked.

This dumpling social is all about connection. You never know who you’ll end up beside, what you’ll bond over, or how the afternoon might unfold — and that’s the beauty of it. Come solo or bring a friend, either way you’ll be welcomed straight in.
