Dinner with the Winemaker

A 'not-to-be-missed' opportunity for all wine and food lovers!

Enjoy a superb five-course dinner at the Lodge in the company of a local winemaker or estate owner. Hear the masters of viticulture talk about their passion and taste their award-winning wines carefully selected to complement your menu. We work closely with the winemaker to match the perfect dishes to accent the outstanding wines of the vintner.  A unique opportunity!
