- THURSDAY EVENING - Winemakers Dinner: A Masterclass with Kumeu River, Ray's Road Chardonnay Vertical

With the first sitting now sold out, we’ve opened a second date to extend the experience. Don't miss this one! Join us this May for an exclusive evening with Paul Brajkovich of Kumeu River. One of, if not New Zealand’s most iconic producers. The Brajkovich family of Kumeu River need no introduction. Playing a defining role in placing New Zealand Chardonnay on the global stage, renowned for their Burgundian-style, their Single Vineyard wines are highly sought after, and their newest Single Vineyard Chardonnay, Rays Road, is gaining critical acclaim for its signature limestone texture and Chablisian qualities. For this special dinner experience, we’ll take a deep dive into a vertical tasting of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Rays Road Vineyard in Hawke's Bay. We’ll settle in for a vertical tasting, allowing the wines to speak for themselves and reveal the emerging potential of a vineyard now coming into focus.
