Crushed Grapes: South Island Wine Dinner
Advertisement
For this chapter of Crushed Grapes, we’re travelling South. Decantering tales from two of New Zealand’s top wineries, swirled alongside an indulgent showcase of Canterbury truffles.
Marlborough’s Dog Point brings the cool, coastal swagger; Central Otago’s Wet Jacket answers with alpine attitude and sun-soaked depth. Same island, wildly different moods, poured side by side so you can taste the difference. On the plate, a truffle-infused menu celebrates the season’s most decadent treasure, with George’s truffles sourced from Ruakākā woven through each course.
Includes: $179pp
- Glass of wine on arrival
- 3-course truffle feasting menu with matched wines
- Mystery pour wine tasting challenge
- Spend the evening winemakers, Chef Sean Connolly, and dish editor Sarah Tuck
- Opportunity to purchase wine to take home
